This insulation reference table shows the batts/rolls needed for a range of area length values, assuming an area width of 5 m, an area per batt/roll of 0.7 m² and a wastage allowance of 5%. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Insulation Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
