Trim Insulation Slightly Oversize
Proper installation of mineral wool batts and blankets is important to attain the highest insulating value of the material.
Batts or blankets should be trimmed slightly greater than the exact size of the space to be insulated so that the space will be tightly filled.
To do this, lay the insulation on a flat surface with the vapor barrier down and cut it with a sharp knife. Leave enough of the vapor barrier to make a flange. Wedge the batt or blanket into place and staple the flange to the stud or rafter.
