Can staples be used to install SAFETOUCH™ Insulation?
Yes, staples can be used to install SAFETOUCH™ Insulation, but they typically aren’t required because SAFETOUCH™ Insulation is made wider than the standard space it will fill, and friction will hold it in place. The rougher the surface of the framing material, the better the insulation will hold in place. If you choose to use staples, they can be driven through the facer and/or the polyester fibers. For wall applications, a staple or two into the top plate can be an added safeguard to settling. Wires, stays, or staples can be used under insulation in floor and ceiling applications.
