\"Knauf-Insulation-Jet-Stream-Ultra-Blowing-Insulation\"<\/a>Knauf Insulation Jet Stream\u00ae\u00a0ULTRA<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>Fiber Glass Blowing Insulation is designed with optimal thermal properties and excellent coverage and blowing characteristics.<\/p>\n

Application<\/h2>\n

Knauf Insulation Jet Stream\u00a0ULTRA<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>is installed in open attics of both new and existing structures and\/or in closed cavity applications with the BIBS system (Blow-in-Blanket System) where ventilation is not required. Jet Stream\u00a0ULTRA –\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>when used in closed cavity applications – is BIBS approved and can only be installed by BIBS certified installers to ensure the highest quality installed performance. Loose fill blowing insulation is intended for use where pneumatically installed insulation is most cost-effective.<\/p>\n

Features and Benefits<\/h2>\n

                <\/h2>\n

                Thermal Performance<\/h2>\n

                Jet Stream\u00a0ULTRA<\/strong>\u00a0<\/em>Blowing Insulation provides you a choice of R-values based on the installed thickness and installed weight per square foot. The tables below show the minimum requirements for obtaining the desired R-value.<\/p>\n

                The stated thermal resistance (R-value) is provided by installing in accordance with the manufacturer\u2018s instructions. The required number of bags per 1,000 sq. ft. of net area, at not less than the labeled minimum thickness. Failure to install both the required number of bags and at least the minimum thickness will result in lower insulation R-values.<\/p>\n

                Field blending of this product with other loose fill insulation or application of this product in conjunction with adhesive or binder systems may affect its thermal performance and is not recommended by the manufacturer.<\/p>\n
