Rock Mineral Wool

Rock Mineral 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.

 

Rock Mineral wool insulation is an insulator that is commonly used in the construction industry as its one of the most efficient forms of insulation. Other benefits include it being a poor thermal conductor meaning it will prevent heat from escaping, and it also has excellent flame-resistant properties. Rock Mineral wool insulation could also be used to control and enhance the acoustic performance levels of a building.

 

What is Rock Mineral wool used for?

Rock Mineral 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

• Rock Mineral Wool insulation is not flammable

• The material always and constantly maintains its insulating properties

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

• The material is completely recyclable

 

Glass Mineral wool insulation

Glass Mineral wool insulation is perhaps the most used type of insulation installed today. It is made by heating glass and sand to about 1500⁰c causing the mixture to melt. This is then spun at high speed to form fibres, which are then stuck together using a resin binder, creating a thick web of fibres that is highly flexible and resembles sheep’s wool. As an insulator, glass mineral wool works to trap air and slow the transfer of heat. In most cases, glass wool comes in a blanket form (called batts), but it’s also available as loose-fill.

 

Glass Mineral wool comes in rolls that can simply be unrolled between joists, making it very easy to install. It has good insulating properties, helping to keep heat in during the winter and heat out during the summer. Made from recycled glass and sand, glass wool is a natural fire retardant that poses little to no fire hazard. There are also glass wool materials that are treated with a fire retardant to improve the level of safety.

 

Energy Efficiency 

During the manufacture process, about 70-80% of the glass wool is produced from recycled glass. Glass wool is resistant to insects. On average, glass wool can help reduce heating and cooling bills by 40% to 50%. In addition to energy savings, it can also help with noise reduction. Although glass wool has a satisfactory R-value if it’s not professionally installed, it can lose thermal protection over time.
