100mm Rockwool RWA45 Acoustic Sound Insulation Slab (2.88m2/Pack)

Why RWA45? 

• High-performance mineral wool insulation slab offering excellent acoustic, thermal, and fire-resistant properties.
• Tightly packed, porous fibres absorb sound, reducing noise transfer.
• Ideal for reducing airborne noise in walls, floors, and partitions in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.
• Open-cell structure traps air, reducing heat transfer and maintaining consistent indoor temperatures, enhancing energy efficiency.
• Non-combustible with a Euroclass A1 fire rating - resists flames, slows fire spread, and improves fire safety.

Why 100mm? 

• Best suited for applications where maximum acoustic, thermal, and fire insulation is required.
• Thicker slabs like 100mm are suitable for larger cavities in metal stud partition walls, further enhancing the effectiveness of the partition in terms of both soundproofing and energy efficiency.
• Ideal for residential and commercial buildings, industrial settings, and high-performance environments.
• Provides the highest thermal efficiency and fire insulation within the RWA45 range.
• Ideal for applications where both compliance with building regulations and enhanced performance are required.

The slabs are also certified by Lloyd's register of shipping as non-combustible materials for use on:

• Fixed offshore installations
• MED classed ships- DTLR MCA approval
• Rated non-combustible in accordance with ISO 1182 and IMO A. 799

Storage & Handling

• Store slabs indoors, in a dry and well-ventilated area, to prevent moisture absorption.
• Keep slabs off the ground by storing them on pallets or timber supports to avoid damage.
• Protect insulation from direct sunlight, rain, and extreme temperature fluctuations.
• Handle slabs with care to maintain their shape and effectiveness - avoid excessive compression.
• Use gloves and long sleeves when handling to prevent irritation from mineral wool fibres.
• Cut slabs easily with a serrated knife or insulation saw for a precise fit.
• Minimise dust by cutting in a well-ventilated area and using a dust mask if necessary.
