I’ve been unable to locate a R-21 FOILBACKED OR FOILFACED FIBERGLASS BATT insulation product anywhere from all suppliers we do business with. Does anyone know where this insulation might be found. I noticed in a post from another person, he was going to use this type of insulation in his project. I’ve checked with JM,OC,KNAUF,Certainteed, on their websites, they offer other foilfaced batt insulation but no R-21. Thanks! JS

Why fiberglass batts when there are better insulations around? Why do you feel you need foil faced?
