FAQs
What is the R-value of this insulation?
The R-value is dependent on the thickness and density of the insulation installed. Consult the product packaging or manufacturer's technical data for specific thermal resistance ratings.
Can this insulation be used on pitched roofs?
This specific roll is designed for horizontal loft applications. Different Rockwool products may be available for pitched roof installations.
How much area does one pack cover?
One pack covers 6.6 m².
Is this product fire-resistant?
Rockwool insulation is made from stone wool, which is inherently non-combustible and can help to improve fire safety in buildings.
Do I need special tools to cut the insulation?
A sharp utility knife or insulation saw is typically used to cut the material cleanly and accurately.
How should I store the insulation before use?
Store the rolls in a dry, protected area, ideally kept sealed in their original packaging until ready for installation.
What is the lifespan of this insulation?
Stone wool insulation is durable and can last for the lifetime of the building when properly installed and protected from moisture.
Troubleshooting
Insulation feels itchy or causes skin irritation during installation.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including long sleeves, trousers, gloves, and eye protection. Use a mask to avoid inhaling fibers.
Gaps or uneven coverage in the loft.
Ensure the insulation is cut precisely to fit around obstructions and overlaps correctly where needed. Aim for continuous coverage to prevent thermal bridging.
Product seems damp or waterlogged.
This is unusual for dry stone wool. Ensure it is stored in a dry environment. If already installed and wet, investigate the source of moisture ingress (e.g., roof leaks, condensation) and address it before re-insulating.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This insulation is designed for DIY or professional installation in horizontal loft applications. Ensure the loft space is clean and dry before application. Unroll the insulation and lay it between and/or over the ceiling joists, ensuring complete coverage without significant gaps. For optimal performance, follow manufacturer guidelines regarding desired R-values or thickness.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use in standard loft spaces. Ensure compatibility with existing building structures and any electrical wiring or ventilation systems within the loft. It is compatible with most common building materials.
Care: Once installed, the insulation requires minimal care. Periodically check for any signs of damage or compression. Avoid getting the insulation wet, as this can compromise its performance. If cleaning is necessary, use a dry brush or vacuum on a low setting; avoid washing or soaking the material.
