Why Use Stone Wool Insulation

Stone wool is very frequently used as an insulation material because of its useful material properties. It is quite cheap and easy to handle. In this article, you can uncover more about the traits, types, and benefits of stone wool insulations.

What is stone wool insulation?

Stone wool is created by spinning molten rock and minerals. Pressed into rolls and sheets, stone wool creates an extremely efficient insulation with sound-absorbing and fire-resistant properties. It installs like any batt insulation in the wall cavity, but it can be either flexible or rigid, providing a full scale of solutions to match your needs.

What is stone wool used for?

Stone wool is a widely used product that is used for:

• Insulating walls (timber frame construction)

• Insulation of cavity walls and exterior walls

• Insulation of attic floors

• Insulation of pitched roofs and flat roofs

Properties and advantages

• Good thermal conductivity and acoustic insulation

• A cheaper form of Insulation

• Stone wool insulation is not flammable

• The material always and constantly maintains its insulating properties

• Stone wool does not absorb moisture, because of which it is resistant to moulds

• The material is completely recyclable

Fire Safety

Stone wool insulation is fire-resistant and does not conduct heat. Therefore it fits the criteria of environments that put high needs on fire safety. Stone wool is therefore often used in fire-resistant doors, ceilings, protective clothing and has many more uses.

Soundproofing

The high density and composition of stone wool insulation makes it an excellent product for sound dampening and absorption and protects you against sound pollution.

Endurance

The insulation value (R-value) of stone wool remains unchanged over time. While other conventional insulation options will decline over time as materials compact, the initial R-value of stone wool will remain unaffected. Stone wall is referred to as rock wool in the diagram below.
