The United States Federal Trade Commission's (FTC) Labeling and Advertising of Home Insulation Rule requires installers to provide each customer (builder or consumer) with a signed and dated contract or receipt for the insulation installed. The receipt must show the coverage area, thickness and R-value of the insulation installed.This applies to all insulation except loose-fill and aluminum foil (16 C.F.R.460.17). The manufacturer must provide a manufacturer's fact sheet. Installers must have this information and show it to customers before they agree to buy the insulation.

A new-home seller must put the following information in every sales contract:the type,thickness, and R-value of the insulation that will be installed in each part of the house (16 C.F.R. 460.16).
