They are all reputable brands and will be equal more or less. More important is how the insulation is installed. Be sure the insulation is installed correctly. i.e. not compressed in the opening, to get the full value.

The is no question. Owens Corning is the leader when it comes to quality. Dont ever doubt that. Reserch proves that OC is the industry leader and Knauf is a close second.

Owens Corning may be the best - but stating that research proves it is a worthless unless you provide a link to the research.

Kanuf used to be good material. The quality stared to go down when they switched to the eco product. I have used it for 20 years. I am going to switch to Owens Corning. The material just does not fully recover. It is difficult to cut. ( no body to it). There are often chunks where it is folded. Some batts have to be trashed. I have high caliber builders. I feel like I am cheating them. I am done with kanuf.

My experience is very similar to George as far as seeing Knauf as being better quality, although fortunately I haven't experienced the troubles he's had w/ the eco product line. I'll be very curious to hear what you experience with Owens Corning ecotouch and how it compares
