As with all insulation materials, you should make sure there's a wind/water barrier on the outside to prevent thermal bypass and an air barrier on the inside to prevent air leakage/interstittial condensation. The latter is especially important at material junctions, eg at the floor-wall junction.

It's completely open to the passage of air as well and does not form any part of an airtightness plan. There must be an adjacent airtight material if you need airtightness.]]>
