Insulation Rolls

ROCKWOOL insulation rolls are flexible products that can be installed in attic, roof, floor and wall spaces.

They provide protection against heat loss – and can help reduce noise transmission in buildings too.

Our versatile rolls of insulation are available in a variety of thicknesses, widths and lengths. Read on to find out how they can benefit your project.

Where and how can our products be used?

Our rolls of insulation can be used throughout a building, bringing various benefits.

They can be laid over and in-between floor joists and beams and they won’t dip or sag over time¹.

ROCKWOOL rolls can also be slotted in-between wall spaces and intermediate floors – thanks to their flexibility and how easy they are to cut to your required shape.

Plus, their structure is adaptable and can fit in and around irregularities – electrical outlets, nails and uneven surfaces for example – without leaving any gaps².

Installation

Our products are easy to install, even in unique spaces. Simply roll them out and fit them to the edge of any beams or structures.

Here are some tips that’ll help you:

Measure out the space you’re laying insulation in before starting. That way you’ll know exactly how many rolls you’ll need.
To ensure your rolls fit properly between floor beams and in-between walls, you need to cut them. Use a sharp, long-bladed knife or insulation saw for an accurate cut.
When installing loft insulation rolls, it’s easier to lag any water pipes before laying – this will be difficult to do afterwards. If there are any cables, lay these on top of the insulation³.

Why do we need insulation rolls?

ROCKWOOL products are designed to bring benefits to your building. Our rolls help to stop heat from escaping, block nuisance noise and provide fire protection in the event of a blaze.

They can be rolled out into the places you want them, making them one of the easiest insulation products to install. Plus, they can provide:

Lower energy bills – Heat is kept in, and cold kept out during the cooler months. This can help occupants enjoy lower monthly bills.
Better fire protection – Our rolls of insulation are non-combustible and do not contribute to the spread of flames. They can withstand temperatures over 1000°C⁴.
Less unwanted noise – Flats and housing in built-up areas can experience unwanted noise, impacting the quality of living⁵.
Insulation helps soundproof buildings.

What makes ROCKWOOL solutions different?

ROCKWOOL solutions are made from durable and highly robust stone wool. They are also:

Temperature regulating – Stone wool keeps temperature levels more stable during the day, over the lifespan of a building⁶.
Mould-resistant – Attics and lofts can be susceptible to rot and mould. Our loft insulation rolls are non-organic, while stone wool’s water repellent properties and open-cell structure makes it vapour permeable – meaning it can help prevent excess humidity and damp⁷.
Adaptable – Buildings come in all shapes and sizes. ROCKWOOL solutions are flexible and versatile. They can be fitted in different applications and building types⁸.
