Rated 1 out of 5 by from R20 Eco Insulation STINKS We bought this to put in our Cathedral ceiling at our cottage. While installing it we noticed a terrible smell. Some people say it smells like burnt cookies but its way worse. We have to leave all the windows open just to be in that cottage now. I have contact Owens Corning weeks ago, filed my complaint with documents and pictures as they requested, and they haven't even responded back. They told me on the initial call that it was the binding agent of the ECO insulation causing the smell and it would disappear after a few weeks. I can certainly tell you its been over 4 weeks and we cannot stand it. Don't buy this stuff.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Pink insulation This product is great. Made a bedroom for my daughter in the basement. It has cut down noise greatly and she is warm and comfy. On top of that, this was easy to install by myself. Had it done in less than 2 hours.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Works but beware, there is an odour!!! Easy to handle, but gave us a bit of a start. After putting all the insulation in we took a coffee break before installing vapour barrier. We were startled to find the room smelling like something was burning. Checked all electrical boxes and areas where wires were running, plus the attic. Then I read the info on the EcoTouch that says it might smell like burnt sugar. Red faced, I put up vapour barrier and smell was reduced. eventually it went completely.

Rated 1 out of 5 by from Stinks - DO NOT USE I got one of these so-called "over-baked" batts. Smells awful. I am afraid I am going to have to pull it out and install a different product. I would AVOID THIS PRODUCT at all costs. Go with something else. It is not worth the time , effort or stress if you get a stinky batt.

will it stay in position if installed in a ceiling

Asked by: roddy
Hello roddy, when installing insulation in floor/ceiling applications the use of wire ties may be needed. It is recommended to use wire ties every 18-24 inches to ensure the batts stay in place. Thank you for your inquiry!

Can this be used in 2x4 stud walls ?

Asked by: bobF
Yes
Answered by: Noel
Date published: 2023-01-13

Can I add 1" foam board in order to increase the R value to the 2x4 cavity and then install this ?

Asked by: Ronald
I cut R5 styrofoam to fit tight inbetween the studs, then I strap the face of the studs with 3/4" (or 1") plywood. This gives you the 3 1/2" required for the batt insulation.

My new fiberglass smells like burnt coffee or burnt sugar

Asked by: Babaloo
Hello Babaloo, I am so sorry to hear about your experience. There are times an odor can occur after the curing process. This will typically dissipate over time, and adding air flow over the product plus introducing a dehumidifier can help clear the odor as well. Please contact 1-800-GETPINK if you have any additional questions or concerns regarding the odor. Thank you for your inquiry!

Is this product good for a finished basement?

Asked by: rubio
Hello rubio, Owens Corning Pink Next Gen can be used within a basement. You would want to check with your local codes to determine R-value requirements. Thank you for your inquiry!

Would this product be good to reduce sound in a basement suite? As of right now it has no insulation so it transfers noise VERY easily.

Asked by: Amadeus
Hi Amadeus, fiberglass insulation does help to reduce noise between floors. Please contact 1-800 GET-PINK for additional information related to noise reduction. Thanks for your inquiry!

Can I install 3.5 insulation batts in 2 inch space

Asked by: Anonymous
Yes you can, compressing the insulation will reduce its R value but if all you have is 2.5" of space then your R value is limited anyway. R value is a ratio of material thickness to its thermal displacement, so you wont get a R12 but you don't really have another option. It sounds like your insulating a 2x2 framed basement, I usually just rip the batts in half and put them in.

Can this be used to help sound proof the ceiling in a basement?

Asked by: Riri3
Hello Riri3, Owens Corning Next Gen Fiberglass Insulation will absorb sound within a cavity and help reduce the sound traveling through the assembly. Thank you for your inquiry!
