Product Overview
Stone wool insulation slab, measuring 40mm in thickness and cut to 1200 × 600mm, for use in partitions, ceilings, and floors.
Manufactured at a density of 60 kg/m³, the slab combines dependable acoustic absorption, effective thermal insulation, and inherent fire resistance.
Its semi-rigid composition ensures straightforward installation, while maintaining a close fit to limit gaps that could compromise performance.
Non-combustible and classified to the highest fire safety standards, the slab contributes to enhanced fire protection within the building fabric. Its fibre structure also provides airborne sound absorption, improving acoustic comfort between rooms and floors.
At 40mm thick, the slab delivers greater acoustic and thermal performance than thinner options, while still offering a relatively slim profile.
It is well suited to applications where space is limited, but improved sound control, energy efficiency, and fire resilience 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.
- 60kg/m³ density: Provides rigidity for friction fitting and reliable acoustic performance.
- Semi-rigid slab format: Fits 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.
- 40mm thickness: Adds acoustic performance to partitions and ceilings while keeping overall build-up low.
Applications
- Stud partitions: Enhances sound reduction between rooms, meeting Approved Document E requirements.
- Ceiling upgrades: Improves airborne sound insulation in residential or commercial builds.
- Floor voids: Adds acoustic performance to timber floors, reducing impact and airborne sound.
- Service risers and enclosures: Provides fire and acoustic protection in building services applications.
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 in internal partitions, floors, and ceilings.
- CE marked to BS EN 13162: Factory-made mineral wool insulation, tested for thermal conductivity (0.034 W/mK) and acoustic absorption performance.
