These products are composed of glass fibers bonded together with a thermosetting resin. They are manufactured in various stiffnesses. Fibrous glass insulation boards are available unfaced, or faced with FSK (foil/scrim/kraft) or ASJ (all-service jacket) facings. Both are excellent vapor retarders; FSK provides a metallic finish, while ASJ presents a white finish.
