Partition walls with a wooden structure are commonly used in residential and commercial buildings to separate rooms into different spaces¹.

They can effectively create flexible living and working environments, but sound and draughts can pass through easily if they aren’t effectively insulated.

Timber stud wall insulation is designed to improve comfort for residents or employees, while also increasing fire safety standards.

Why do we need timber stud wall insulation?

Stud walls are a fantastic way of redesigning flats, offices and other spaces.

However, the space in-between the timber frames can allow sound and heat to travel through. If you’ve installed a partition with privacy and comfort in mind, or to facilitate quieter office space, this could be a potential issue.

Quality timber stud wall insulation can reduce noise transmission by filling the gaps in-between the timber frames. By installing effective insulation products, such as stone wool, acoustic performance is improved, blocking nuisance noise, while also enhancing fire safety and energy efficiency.

This creates a more comfortable, safe indoor environment for those living and working inside.

Key tips:

Before cutting insulation to fit a wall, ensure you have accurately measured the wall and know the exact dimensions you need to fill⁸.
To guarantee an even finish when cutting the boards, rolls or slabs, use a sharp long-bladed knife or insulation saw⁹.
When covering all gaps, pack insulation tightly against the timber frames, to prevent heat being lost.
