What Is Rockwool Insulation?
Rockwool insulation can be described as a type of mineral wool insulation. It is made from certain rocks heated to a high temperature before being spun into fine wool.
Rockwool insulation can be used for cavity insulation as well as loft insulation. It is also available in rigidly compressed boards. They are strong, durable, and long-lasting.

The R-value is an important metric to help us determine the insulation’s performance. The R-values for fibreglass and Rockwool are the same, but it is essential to know what R-value your application will require.
The higher R-value insulation will provide better insulation performance for your property or home. This insulation can withstand a lot of throwing around in its packaging.

It traps hot air from heaters, fires, or radiators and allows it to move freely throughout your house instead of escaping from crucial areas like the walls or loft.
It can improve insulation by trapping heat inside and stopping cold air from entering. It is worth it if your home is in a noisy area or near a major road.
How To Install A Rockwool System?
Premium Adhesive is recommended for Rockwool installation as part of an external wall insulation system made of Mineral Wool.
This adhesive is the strongest and most breathable of our products. It contains fibreglass strands within the material which increases its strength and adhesive abilities. The Premium Adhesive attaches the acoustic wall Insulation to their substrate.
Metal mechanical fixings can be drilled into the substrate to ensure a secure fit. Rockwool is a heavier insulation material, so metal fixings are required in combination with it.
The Premium Adhesive can then be applied to the boards as a topcoat. It will have strips of overlapping fibreglass mesh embedded in it.
After that, it will be finished with Silicone Silicate, or Silicone Silicone renders. These renders are our most breathable and will work well with Rockwool, highly breathable insulation.
Insulation Is The Key Ingredient To A High-Performance Home
Acoustic ceiling insulation can withstand extremely high temperatures because it is made of rock. It can withstand 1000 degrees Celsius without melting, which is a massive advantage for preventing the spread of fire in a home.
Rockwool is also breathable. This means it can be used to reduce dampness in homes. Rockwool allows moisture to flow across walls and then moves it outside.
It is essential to speak with an expert if you are interested in Rockwool insulation. They can help you determine the cost and process for having it installed. They will also ensure that your installation goes smoothly and you have a well-insulated home.
