EcoBatt® Integrated Roof Deck (IRD) Insulation
A new, state-of-the-art attic insulation solution that supports California’s Title 24 Option B High-Performance Ventilated Attic code requirements.
INTEGRATED ROOF DECK
Introducing the cost-effective, fast and labor-efficient insulation solution to support the Title 24 Option B High- Performance Ventilated Attic code requirements. New code requirements offer insulation options for “unconditioned” spaces—where HVAC systems and water heaters are often placed in states where basements are not standard. The new Knauf EcoBatt® Integrated Roof Deck (IRD) insulation solution is an economical way to support the Title 24 Option B High-Performance Ventilated Attic Prescriptive Method code requirements. Its unique installation process saves time and money on projects, and requires no specialty equipment. It results in a clean finish that envelops truss chords, creating a thermal break.
ECOBATT® IRD INSULATION
What EcoBatt IRD brings to your project:
Fast• Installs straight out of the bag with no special preparation
• Proprietary installation method that saves time compared to competitive solutions
Clean• Attractive finished appearance
• Provides a uniform layer of continuous insulation underneath the roof deck that envelops the truss chords, creating a thermal break
• Helps deliver an easily attainable QII installation
Hassle-Free• Requires no specialized equipment or trucks
• Easy handling for overhead installations
• Custom facing is designed to secure the batt to the roof deck
EcoBatt Thermal/Acoustical InsulationEcoBatt Insulation is the proven insulation solution preferred by professional installers. It’s highly resilient, recovers quickly to full thickness, and delivers consistent quality that still cuts easily and installs fast with low dust. Plus, when installed in ceiling and floor systems, it reduces sound transmission in the home.
DEFINING CALIFORNIA’S TITLE 24 CODE REQUIREMENTSTITLE 24, SECTION: 150.1(C).1.ii—OPTION B HIGH-PERFORMANCE VENTILATED ATTIC
A minimum R-value of insulation installed between the roof rafters in contact with the roof deck and an additional layer of ceiling insulation located between the attic and the conditioned space. The EcoBatt IRD system applies to California's climate zones 4 and 8–16.
Technical DataSurface Burning Characteristics
• Kraft facing will burn and should not be left exposed
Thermal Value
• Thermal resistance (R-value) is determined using industry standard test method ASTM C518.
Water Vapor Sorption (ASTM C1104)
• Less than 5% by weight
Corrosiveness (ASTM C665)
• Does not accelerate the corrosion of steel
Microbial Growth (ASTM C1338)
• Does not support microbial growth
Glass Mineral Wool and MoldGlass mineral wool insulation will not sustain mold growth. However, mold can grow on almost any material when it becomes wet and contaminated. Carefully inspect any insulation that has been exposed to water. If it shows any sign of mold, it must be discarded. If the material is wet, but shows no evidence of mold, it should be dried rapidly and thoroughly. If it shows signs of facing degradation from wetting, it should be replaced.
Features and BenefitsProven Performance
• Preferred by professional installers concerned with quality, appearance and productivity
• Excellent acoustical properties reduce sound transmission in the home when properly installed
Superior Handling
• Highly resilient insulation recovers quickly to full thickness for a snug fit and superior finished aesthetics
• Consistent quality materials made of resilient fibers cut easily, and install fast with low dust
• Durable facing resists tears and is marked in one-foot increments for faster field-fabrication
Specification Compliance• ASTM C665; Type II, Class C,
Category 2
