Mineral Fiber Insulation

Owens corning 15 in.

Mineral fiber insulation.

Because of its density mineral wool is hard to compress. Mineral wool insulation is made from rock and blast furnace slag. Set your store to see local. Comfortboard 80 exterior non structural insulation.

Thermafiber is the 1 specified brand of commercial mineral wool. The raw materials are melted in a furnace at temperatures above 2 600 f. It costs about about 25 to 45 more than fiberglass but i feel its benefits more than justify the additional costs. The semi rigid batts are more dense than traditional batts or rolls and are quick and easy to install.

Mineral wool insulation has superior sound deadening properties. Today thermafiber mineral wool resists fire and temperatures in excess of 2 000 f while also providing sound control and energy conservation. The manufacturing process involves taking molten rock and spinning it while blasting it with cool air. Rockwool comfortboard 80 is a rigid mineral wool insulation sheathing board that is non combustible water repellent fire resistant and sound absorbent.

Mineral wool is a stone based mineral fiber insulation comprised of basalt rock and recycled steel slag. The molten substance is spun into billions of fibers which are formed into insulating blankets with a high recycled content that provide fire resistive characteristics thermal insulation and sound control. Thermafiber ultrabatt mineral wool is designed to provide thermafiber ultrabatt mineral wool is designed to provide excellent thermal insulation in residential and light commercial building. Our mineral wool contains a minimum of 70 recycled content and it s non combustible inorganic and mold resistant.
