It seems to me a couple years ago I saw fiberglass batt insulation for
sale where the batts (or maybe it was rolls) were completely wrapped
in plastic, to cut down on the fibers getting everywhere. I didn't buy
any then, but now I would like to. *I have looked at a couple local
big box stores recently but have not been able to find it. *Did they
stop making the stuff? *Anyone seen it in stores? *What exactly is the
make and model? Thanks, -- H

The Owens Corning product is called "PinkPlus" tm and is sold at the local
Lowes store.

Since I hate insulation, I was tempted to use it on my last project until I
realized that most of my runs would need to be sliced in order to
accommodate not *OC rafter spacing.

Thanks. *At least now I know what to ask for. *My situation is that
the attic is all floored over, with about 2 to 4 inches of rock wool
under the boards. *(There's only 5.5 inches of space under them
anyway.) *I figured I would just put fiberglass on top of the boards,
except in the areas I use for storage. *For a number of reasons I
don't want to use the blow-in stuff. *Also for a number of reasons I'd
prefer to have the fiberglass be contained. *-- H

Update - at Menards I found Johns-Manville "Comforttherm" - that is
what I was thinking of. It is wrapped in thin perforated plastic so
there is no vapor barrier but the fibers are basically contained.
It's a little pricey but worth it in my view. I am a little
disappointed at the uneven quality of the rolls - some seem to fluff
up to the advertised thickness right away, others still haven't after
a few days. -- H
