A mineral fiber insulation assembly is disclosed. The insulation assembly
includes a longitudinally extending mineral fiber core having opposed
major surfaces, opposed side surfaces and opposed end surfaces. A low
friction polymer film is positioned adjacent the major surfaces and the
side surfaces. At least one of the side surfaces is attached to the
polymer film. A plurality of openings are provided in the polymer film
adjacent at least one of the side surfaces. The insulation assembly is
readily compressible and expandable at the job site. The low friction film
provides easy installation.
