ROCKWOOL Insulation.

Stone wool insulation is crafted by spinning molten rock and minerals together with steel slag, resulting in a cotton-candy-like wool product. Compressed into rolls and sheets, stone wool serves as a highly efficient insulation solution with notable sound-absorption and fire-resistant qualities. Its installation mirrors that of traditional batt insulation within wall cavities, offering flexibility or rigidity to cater to diverse requirements.

ROCKWOOL Insulation exhibits moisture resistance while maintaining vapor permeability. If the insulation encounters dampness or becomes wet, it can be restored to its original performance characteristics once thoroughly dried. Notably, ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation does not wick water, ensuring that any bulk water contacting the outer surface will drain away without being absorbed into the insulation material.

ROCKWOOL Insulation, being inorganic, lack a conducive environment for mold growth as they provide no nutritional source. Rigorously tested according to ASTM C1338 – A Standard Test for Determining Fungi Resistance – ROCKWOOL products pass with flying colors, demonstrating zero fungal growth.

Determining rodent resistance lacks a standardized test method. However, ROCKWOOL’s recognition as a rodent-resistant insulation stems largely from positive feedback and testimonials from numerous customers, especially those in regions colloquially known as “cottage country.” While the insulation has shown resilience against rodents based on anecdotal evidence, it is advisable to take precautionary measures if specific pest-related challenges are prevalent in your area to safeguard the insulation.
