unfaced glass fibre


Explanation:
Without more context it is difficult to be certain but I am assuming this means glass fibre insulation neither a vapour barrier nor attached plasterboard. If this is the case then in UK English it is unfaced glass fibre (roll or batts).

neutral  Tony M: That's what I was thinking too, but what about the 'feutre' bit? Is there any special significance to that here?

  -> In English we tend not to use the term, so its either a roll or batts, the assumption is that it won't be blown or loose unless so stated, I did find mat but its not generally used.
