How delivery works

We work with a nationwide network of trusted suppliers. Items in your basket may be supplied by different suppliers and delivered separately. Where this applies, you will see delivery charges shown at checkout for each part of your order. We always aim to group products from the same supplier to keep delivery costs as low as possible.

Delivery areas

Delivery charges apply to mainland UK, excluding: AB, CA, CF, DD, DG, EH, EX, FK, KA, KW, KY, IV, LA, LD, LL, ML, NP, PA, PH, PL, SA, SY, TR, TQ and TD.

If your address is in one of these areas, we will contact you before processing your order to confirm any additional costs. We do not currently offer delivery outside the UK mainland.

What to expect on delivery day

  • Deliveries are typically kerbside.
  • Please ensure someone is on-site to accept delivery. For heavier items, help with offloading may be required.
  • Many building materials arrive on large vehicles. If access is restricted, a specialist vehicle such as a HIAB may be required and could incur an additional charge.

Why delivery can cost more than typical parcel delivery

Building materials often travel on larger vehicles and usually carry fewer drops per run than parcel networks. That is why delivery charges can be higher than standard e-commerce shipping.

Returns

Returns depend on what you have bought and whether there is anything wrong with it. For full details on eligibility, timeframes, and exclusions, please see our full policy.

Product Overview

Stone wool insulation slab, 100mm thick and cut to 1200 × 600mm, developed for demanding acoustic and fire-rated constructions.

With a density of 100 kg/m³, the slab offers a robust balance of rigidity and sound absorption. The added mass helps to block airborne noise transfer, while the dense fibre structure absorbs sound within the cavity, improving acoustic comfort across partitions, floors, and ceilings.

This higher density also gives the slab excellent dimensional stability, supporting structural integrity and ensuring it holds its shape once installed. 

Its semi-rigid form allows for a friction fit that minimises air gaps and maintains consistent performance.

Classified as non-combustible, the slab provides reliable fire resistance, contributing to enhanced safety within the building fabric.

At 100mm thick, it delivers the highest levels of airborne sound reduction available within the range, making it well suited to applications where superior noise control and fire performance are required.

Features & Benefits

  • A1 non-combustible fire rating (BS EN 13501-1): Meets UK and Ireland Building Regulations for non-combustible materials.
  • Stone wool material: Naturally resists rot, fungal decay, and insect attack for long-term durability.
  • 100kg/m³ density: Rigid and stable, providing maximum sound absorption and secure fitting.
  • Semi-rigid slab format: Installs neatly between studs, joists, and rafters.
  • Open-fibre structure: Provides excellent sound absorption for reduced noise transfer.
  • Easily cut to size: Allows straightforward installation around services and fixtures.
  • Slab size 1200 x 600mm: Standard board dimensions suit common stud spacings.
  • 100mm thickness: Provides maximum noise reduction in specialist acoustic and fire-rated builds.

Applications

  • Stud partitions: Enhances acoustic separation between rooms to meet Approved Document E standards.
  • Ceilings: Improves airborne sound insulation in shallow ceiling voids.
  • Floors: Adds effective acoustic performance to timber floors.
  • Separation walls: Provides fire safety and sound absorption in dividing walls.

Installation Guidance

  • Friction fit between studs/joists: Ensures slabs stay securely in place without gaps.
  • Cut with insulation saw or knife: Achieves accurate fitting around pipes, sockets, and structural details
  • Protect from moisture during install: Maintain insulation performance by keeping slabs dry until enclosed.

Compliance & Performance

  • Euroclass A1 non-combustible (BS EN 13501-1): Complies with Building Regulations requirements for non-combustible materials.
  • CE marked to BS EN 13162: Factory-made mineral wool insulation, tested for thermal conductivity (0.034 W/mK) and acoustic absorption performance.

Very good service from the sales team! The RW5 is great for fire performance and has water repellent qualities as well. Will buy again for my next sound studio.
