100mm Rockwool Flexi Acoustic Sound Insulation Slab (4.32m2/Pack)

Insulation is a fiddly thing; if not fitted properly, it can often become displaced resulting in cold spots or poor acoustics. Not with 100mm Rockwool Flexi Insulation Slab. Whilst it lives up to sister slabs such as Rockwool RWA45 in terms of its thermal and acoustic performance, what really sets 100mm Rockwool Flexi Slab apart is that it has a patented flexible edge, which allows it to be perfectly friction fitted within the supporting framework.

Not only that, but it offers fantastic thermal, acoustic and fire performance in one robust insulation solution. This multi-purpose insulation solution is perfect for use in metal and timber framing systems. Made from renewable volcanic rock, these slabs are extremely fire resistant (with a classification of A1 non-combustible) and significantly reduce the carbon footprint of a building. They are suitable for installation between wall frames, roofs, floors and partitions and offer a thermal conductivity of 0.038W/mK.

100mm Rockwool Flexi Acoustic Sound Insulation Slab Applications

1200mm x 600mm Rockwool Flexi slab is considered effective thermal and acoustic insulation for use all over the home, in pitched roof rafters, framed external walls, internal partitions, intermediate floors, separating walls and floors, and timber suspended ground floors. The flexible edge helps to overcome the issue of fresh timber shrinkage by expanding into the wider space as the timber dries out. 

The slabs can be used for the following construction types:

• Interior timber or steel partition walls
• Interior timber frame floors
• Interior timber frame ceilings
• Acoustic ceilings and partition panels
• I-joist interior partitions
• Party walls

Rockwool Flexi Slab Storage & Handling

Rockwool Flexi 100mm slabs have a soft, fibrous texture, very similar to a loaf of bread. Because of this, a serrated blade is all you need to slice through it. We recommend marking the dimensions you need on your slab to avoid mistakes.
When it comes to storage, we advise that you store the slabs inside; keeping them nice and dry.
