Intro Welcome to the ROCKWOOL® Core Range: 6 products for all major applications The edge for performance We’ve harnessed the awesome power of nature to bring you the exceptional performance of our unique insulation. ROCKWOOL® is made from molten volcanic rock to bring you naturally efficient energy saving, unbeatable sound proofing and a level of fire safety that no other general insulation can match. Walls, Partitions & Floors. Unlike other insulation, ROCKWOOL® is suitable for acoustic, fire and thermal applications. The key to ROCKWOOL® is its flexibility. There are products in the core...

Superb fit - superior performance ROCKWOOL FLEXI® fits perfectly every time - wherever you use it delivering all-round superior insulation performance: Thermally effective Providing a perfect friction fit against frames, joists and studs, ROCKWOOL FLEXI® delivers high levels of insulation, minimising cold bridging through the frame Superior sound performance Snug fit against frames, studs and joists eliminates gaps Environment ROCKWOOL® insulation relies on entrapped air for its thermal properties; air is not a VOC and it does not have Global Warming Potential (GWP) or Ozone Depleting...

ROCKWOOL FLEXI® ROCKWOOL FLEXI®- the ingenious volcanic rock slab with the patented flexi-edge that makes installation The flexi-edge is unique and ensures a perfect fit every time, within floor joists, between rafters, metal and timber studs and metal and timber frame buildings. Unlike rigid insulants, ROCKWOOL FLEXI® will hold itself within the stud centres required, first time, every time. Timber expands and contracts, ROCKWOOL FLEXI® can be fitted between damp timber and will expand into the wider space created when the timber has dried out and shrunk back. Other rigid or very flimsy...

Proven over 40 years Easier to cut, no slump, no gaps, water resistant and fits tightly to internal block work ROCKWOOL® Cavity showing ROCKWOOL® edge and floor insulation

Cavity Fully filled and fully proven ROCKWOOL® Cavity provides a completely reliable and cost effective method of insulating new masonry cavity walls. The lightweight insulation batts considerably reduce heat loss without permitting water transmission from the outer to the inner leaf. The risk of condensation is also reduced and intermittent heating systems will be more effective. Advantages BBA certified for all exposure zones Acts as a cavity barrier Water repellent Excellent thermal and fire insulation Superior fit against blockwork Installation guide The installation of the batts should...

Fire safety for cavities range ROCKWOOL® TCB Cavity Barrier is a polyethylene sleeved ROCKWOOL® strip engineered to provide fire safety for timber frames, metal frames and traditional masonry cavities. Standard TCB Cavity Barrier comprises a strip of ROCKWOOL® inserted into a translucent red polyethylene sleeve incorporating two flanges designed ROCKWOOL® TCB's have been fire tested to 60 minutes integrity and 30 minutes insulation and is used to provide a half hour cavity barrier as defined in Section 33 of the Building Regulations Technical Guidance ■ Reduced installation time ■ Meets...

The ROCKWOOL® TCB Cavity Barrier Compresses to a tight fit, is easy to install and maintenance free

Fixing of the TCB Cavity Barrier to the inner leaf is carried out only at the flanges using non-corrosive staples or clout nails. These fixings should be located at maximum 150mm centres in both horizontal and vertical applications. Joints between TCB's must be closely butted. At door and window jambs, the horizontal barrier should overlap the vertical barrier to ensure a close butted joint is maintained between both barriers. clout nails TCB at door or window jamb ROCKWOOL® Roll cavity closer partial fill TCB used as cavity closer

ROCKFLOOR® Thermal & acoustic floor solutions Acoustic ROCKFLOOR® is a tissue faced high compressive strength product designed as a mono density, rebated slab suitable for acoustic treatments of intermediate floors. Thermal ROCKFLOOR® is a unique dual density, high compressive strength ROCKWOOL® slab designed specifically for use as thermal insulation for floors. Advantages Excellent acoustic and thermal properties High compressive resistance Easy handling and fitting Fully tested Minimises thermal and acoustic bridging thicknesses from 25 mm to 100 mm. 30 mm and 40 mm thick ROCKFLOOR®...
