Owens Corning manufactures PINK FIBERGLAS™ insulation products for both thermal and acoustical control. The company does not manufacture a specific wall treatment product for your application. To use fiberglass insulation it will be necessary to remove existing wall finish (drywall), then insulate the framing of the wall (2×4 studs) and install new drywall. If you are insulating exterior walls, we recommend using faced insulation with an R-value of 13 or 15. Using FIBERGLAS insulation in the wall cavities will also help with noise control. Install the insulation with the vapor retarder facing the warm-in-winter side.
