Unfaced or Kraft-faced Insulation for Garage

Mitch65| Posted inGeneral Questionson

My garage is unfinished and in process to install insulation, drywall and insulated garage doors. I have contacted two insulation companies for quotes- one has recommended unfaced batt insulation and the other kraft-faced. My house was built in 1986 so the exterior wall construction is masonite over Georgia Pacific C-208 fiberboard sheathing. I live in North Carolina – Zone 4A, mixed humid climate. The garage is attached and will not be heated or cooled. Would it matter which is used in this environment? Is there anything I need to consider in using one over the other?

    Are you trying to isolate the house from the garage, or insulate the garage from the outside?
