What Are Knauf Insulation Rolls Made From?

Knauf Insulation rolls are primarily made from glass mineral wool. This involves melting sand and a high percentage of recycled glass (often up to 80%), then spinning these materials into fine fibres. These fibres are bound together using Knauf Insulation's unique bio-based binder, ECOSE Technology, which is formaldehyde-free.

How Long Does Knauf Insulation Typically Last? Will It Degrade Or Settle Over Time?

Knauf glass mineral wool insulation is designed to last for the lifetime of the building when installed correctly. It is dimensionally stable, rot-proof, non-hygroscopic (doesn't readily absorb atmospheric moisture), and doesn't provide sustenance for vermin or microbial growth. It should not settle or degrade in performance under normal conditions within the building fabric.

What Happens If Knauf Insulation Rolls Get Wet During Installation Or Storage?

Like most mineral wool insulation, Knauf rolls will lose a significant amount of their thermal performance if they become saturated with water, as water replaces the trapped air which provides the insulation. However, the material itself is generally water-resistant (non-hygroscopic). If it gets wet, it should be allowed to dry out completely before being enclosed within the structure; it will typically regain its original thermal performance once fully dried. It's always best practice to store rolls under cover and protect them from weather during installation.If the insulation is repeatedly soaked or stays wet for a long time (like from a leak), it could eventually become damaged, compressed, or promote mould growth on surrounding materials, even if the insulation itself doesn’t mould easily.Short-term wetting is usually not an issue if it fully dries, but it’s always better to protect it from getting wet in the first place.
