CertainTeed SMARTBATT Insulation with MoistureSense Technology is a revolutionary way to intelligently address moisture on your jobs, and it’s faster and easier to install than traditional vapor retarders. Differentiate your business with this technology — exclusively from CertainTeed.
Insulation
Easier to Cut and Install
Delivering SMARTBATT’s advanced protection doesn’t add time or hassle to your jobs.
• Integrated moisture management provides a single-step installation
• Performance previously only possible with a rolled sheet product
• 2/3 less asphalt than traditional kraft makes cutting quick and easy
Meets and Exceeds Code
SMARTBATT helps create a superior, cost-effective air tightness and moisture management system.
• Meets and exceeds today’s most forward-looking building code requirements for a vapor retarder
• Pair with a caulk and seal package to meet new air tightness requirements
Creates A More Comfortable Living Space
SMARTBATT helps create a healthier, more energy efficient home.
• Highly efficient SMARTBATT fiber glass insulation helps save on energy bills
• Advanced moisture management helps protect insulation’s thermal performance
LOW
HUMIDITY
Remains moisture tight in winter when humidity in the cavity is low.
HIG
H HUMIDITY
Increases permeability in summer to let moisture escape when needed.
Superior Drying vs. Traditional Vapor BarriersWhile traditional kraft facing has a limited permeance, proprietary MoistureSense Technology adapts from almost completely closed to fully open based on humidity levels in the cavity.
• Actively prevents moisture from being trapped within the cavity
• Helps minimize the risk of harmful mold, mildew and rot by promoting increased drying in the cavity

Use SMARTBATT for insulation in climate zones 3 – 7. It is ideal for areas where the home is cooled in the summer and heated in the winter.*
Whatever your recommended R-value, upgrading beyond these minimums creates a more comfortable and energy efficient home.
• R-13, R-15, R-19, R-21, R-30 and R-38
• 93" and 105" lengths (R-30 and R-38 are only available in 48" length)
• 15" width
• Tabs for inset stapling or tabless friction-fit for even quicker installation
Not all climate zones require vapor retarders. To determine whether they’re recommended for your region, use our online insulation calculator at www.certainteed.com/iTools
