An insulation timber frame building reduces heat loss during winter and keeps interior temperatures comfortable year-round, as well as increasing energy efficiency to save on heating and cooling costs.
ROCKWOOL thermal and acoustic insulation slabs can be friction fitted between timber studs of external walls for thermal and acoustic insulation, boasting EuroClass A1 non-combustibility as well as an impressive sound absorption value.
Optimal density
Timber frame buildings require proper insulation in order to minimize heat loss during winter and gain in summer, increasing energy efficiency and saving on utility costs while supporting environmental sustainability goals. Furthermore, complying with building regulations is another benefit of insulation in timber frame buildings.
Rigid foam boards can be difficult to install between timber studs, as they need to be cut precisely for precise fitment and may leave air gaps that compromise performance. ROCKWOOL thermal and acoustic slabs are designed with friction fit technology for faster, simpler, more cost effective installation.
Rockwool insulation stands out from other insulation materials by keeping its shape and not sagging, making it easy to fit into awkward corners between timber frame walls. Its engineered density also ensures tight friction fits that reduce waste, speeding up installation. Furthermore, ROCKWOOL stone wool withstands temperatures up to 1000degC making it Euroclass A1 fire-rated and non-combustible providing greater fire safety both during construction as well as once properties have been occupied by residents. Finally, its high acoustic performance provides noise pollution reduction between rooms as well as external noise pollution reduction from outside sources compared to conventional timber frame insulation materials used with traditional insulation materials used during occupying time by tenants during occupation as well as internal sound transmission between rooms reducing external noise pollution as well as internal sound transmission between rooms compared to conventional timber frame insulation materials such as ROCKWOOL’s stone wool product provides reduced sound pollution as well as transmission between rooms reducing both external noise pollution from outside sources as well as transmission between rooms allowing occupants peace of mind during construction or occupation when properties occupied; making ROCKWOOL’s stone wool fire rated Euroclass A1 fire rating ensures greater fire safety both during construction as occupied properties occupied. ROCKWOOL’s Euroclass A1 fire rating ensures increased fire safety measures both during occupied properties when properties occupied; its Euroclass A1 fire rating ensures greater fire safety during both periods as Euroclass A1. ROCKWOOL’s high acoustic performance by reducing external noise pollution and internal sound transmission between rooms. ROCKWOOL timber frame insulation also delivers high acoustic performance makes an acoustic performance an invaluable timber frame insulation also ensures also ensure Euroclass A1 fire rating make combustibility is EuroClassA1, EuroclassA fire ratings ensure greater fire rating provides greater fire safety as non-combustibility allows European Class A1 fire rating ensure greater fire safety both during construction as non combustability allows greater fire safety both fire resistant making ROCKWOOL also Euroclass combustability makes providing properties are non-combustability combustability when properties ensuring greater noise pollution reduction reduce internal sound transmission between rooms reducing external noise pollutionscombustibility makes EuroclassA1. Its noncombustability also EuroclassA1 fire safety during construction than its noncombusted non combustibility EuroclassA1 EuroclassA1.

ROCKWOOL timber frame insulation provides high levels reducing internal sound transmission between rooms reducing internal sound transmission between rooms too providing high level acous. acousity too as its Euroclass A1 fire ratings increases
Excellent thermal and acoustic performance
ROCKWOOL Thermal Timber Frame Slab is a pre-engineered non-combustible insulation product developed for use in insulated timber frame walls. It boasts an exceptional lambda value to meet compliance with Part L of Building Regulations while its dense non-directional fibre structure also helps achieve soundproofing performance.
It is designed to fit tightly between standard stud widths without needing on-site cutting, providing a friction fit and preventing cold air from penetrating between studs. Furthermore, its self supporting properties help minimize on-site construction costs.
Rockwool acoustic insulation is designed to ensure the fireproof performance of timber frame buildings, making an impactful statement about their importance in society. Rated Euroclass A1, Rockwool’s Acoustic insulation resists fire during vulnerable construction stages while simultaneously offering safety to those using their property afterward by slowing chemical reactions within its timber framework, stopping burning, and stopping smoke escape from entering into it.
Non-combustible
ROCKWOOL Timber Frame Slab is an incombustible stone wool insulation slab specifically developed to meet the thermal, acoustic, and fire resistance requirements for steel frame external walls. Due to its physical structure, it remains rigid over time without sagging over time – providing continuous performance throughout a building’s lifetime.
570mm wide slabs provide a tight friction fit between standard 600mm on center timber studs of external walls, helping speed installation by eliminating the need for cutting and eliminating gaps that might compromise performance. They also ensure insulation remains securely in place as timber studs contract and dry out over the life of a building project.
Made of stone wool, this product meets Euroclass A1 fire safety requirements, providing superior fire resistance during construction and once the property is complete. As it does not melt, undergo chemical changes, or release combustible gases when exposed to fire, it significantly enhances building safety.
Easy to install
Timber frame construction has quickly become one of the most popular building methods in the UK, due to its many benefits: pre-engineered quality, reduced site work and faster completion time.
When selecting insulation materials to insulate timber frames, it is essential that they can be easily installed. Rigid foam boards may not be appropriate as they must be cut to size before being installed resulting in air leakage that compromises thermal, fire safety and acoustic performance.
ROCKWOOL’s timber frame insulation slab is designed as a friction fit to speed installation and minimise waste, providing a safe and easy solution to meet the thermal requirements of Part L of the Building Regulations. Unlike other products which shrink, sag and lose volume during construction, our stone wool slabs stay put ensuring high levels of thermal and acoustic performance even once walls have been constructed – plus they carry the highest Euroclass A1 noncombustible reaction to fire rating!
