Safe and Sound Insulation
What Is Safe and Sound Insulation?
Stone wool insulation, also known as mineral wool, is crafted by spinning molten rock and minerals with steel slag, resulting in a cotton-candy-like wool product. Pressed into rolls and sheets, stone wool delivers exceptionally effective insulation while boasting sound-absorbing and fire-resistant properties. It can withstand temperatures up to 2150°F (1177°C) and does not emit toxic smoke or promote flame spreading, even under direct exposure to fire. This feature provides crucial additional time for individuals to evacuate safely and for firefighters to respond.
Stone wool insulation proves invaluable when exceptional fire resistance and acoustical performance are paramount. Non-combustible, lightweight, and dimensionally stable, it is ideal for friction fit in wall, ceiling, and floor applications. Additionally, it offers excellent acoustical dampening capabilities and does not promote corrosion due to its chemical inertness.
Benefits:
- Stone wool provides excellent noise reduction and sound absorption to help you create quieter, more productive environments.
- Water resistant, stone wool does not rot or promote the growth of mildew, fungi or mold.
- Non-combustible and fire resistant, stone wool works to contain a fire and prevent its spread.
- Lightweight and easy to install.
Features:
- Cuts easily
- With a melting point of roughly 1177°C (2150°F), it is incombustible.
- Very good sound absorption
- Due to its high melting temperature, and it is fire-resistant.
- Not rots don’t encourage fungus or mildew growth.
- Low sorption of moisture
- Does not absorb moisture to preserve its insulating properties; is water and moisture-resistant.
