Timber Stud Wall Insulation

Key benefits of our timber stud wall insulation products include:

• Acoustic performance – stone wool reduces the impact of noise in buildings, boosting concentration and productivity in offices.³
• Fire performance – our non-combustible stone wool insulation does not contribute to the spread of fire and can withstand⁴
• Adaptability for wall design – ROCKWOOL insulation can be adapted for different wall sizes and shapes, complementing existing interior layouts.⁵
• Thermal performance – our insulation can help regulate temperatures and create comfortable indoor conditions.⁶
• Robustness – ROCKWOOL products won’t sag over time or degrade in quality, offering premium insulation that lasts the lifetime of a building.⁷

Our insulation is highly adaptable to your needs. It has been manufactured to be easy to install, while still offering a robust solution for your project.

Key tips:

• Before cutting insulation to fit a wall, ensure you have accurately measured the wall and know the exact dimensions you need to fill.⁸
• To guarantee an even finish when cutting the boards or slabs, use a sharp long-bladed knife or insulation saw.⁹
• When covering all gaps, pack insulation tightly against the timber frames, to prevent heat being lost.

Sustainability and energy efficiency

Sustainability is at the heart of what we do.

When calculated in accordance with ISO 14021, ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation products contain between 20 and 26% recycled content. This shows our commitment to breathing new life into older insulation, and creating new products that still offer optimal performance.

We also recycle waste created during the production process, minimising our carbon footprint and impact on the environment by following a cleaner method of producing insulation.¹⁰

Once they have been developed, ROCKWOOL products pass on energy savings to companies or residents by reducing the overall energy consumption in buildings.
