acoustical fire batt insulation ROXUL AFB Acoustical Fire Batts ® Batt Insulation for Commercial Interior Partition Walls

Roxul afb® Batt Insulation that Fights Both Fire and Noise ROXUL AFB® ROXUL AFB® is a lightweight, semi-rigid batt insulation specifically designed for steel stud interior wall and floor applications. This stone wool-based insulation is made from natural stone and recycled content. It’s a sustainable product that provides superior sound absorbency and fire protection for overall occupant comfort and safety. That’s why AFB is quickly becoming the insulation of choice for today’s green builders in commercial and industrial construction. AFB Acoustic Testing STC value doesn’t take into account...

Roxul afb® Features and Benefits that Set AFB Apart Fire Resistant Water Repellent ROXUL AFB’s combination of stone wool and recycled content makes this insulation fire resistant. This non-combustible product does not develop smoke or promote flame spread when exposed to fire, making AFB a critical line of defense in fire protection. In fact, studies have proven that stone or mineral wool insulations provide a 54% increase in overall fire resistance rating compared to non-insulated assemblies. ROXUL AFB will not absorb water or hold moisture, thereby maintaining its shape within the wall...

acoustical fire batt insulation Fast, Easy Installation The higher density of AFB provides superior sag resistance and fit. Once installed, AFB holds its shape without sagging or slumping in the wall cavity over time to consistently provide continuous fire protection and sound control. Working with ROXUL insulation is a breeze. Simply cut with a serrated knife for quick and efficient installation between studs, around electrical boxes, pipes, wiring, ductwork and between studs and joists that are less than a standard width.
