Wall Rock Insulation

Wall rock insulation is an effective way to insulate and increase energy efficiency within your home, as well as lower noise levels and prevent condensation or mould growth in your living environment.

Thermal liners come in different sizes and thicknesses to meet every need, making installation simple. Adhesives designed for this kind of insulation wallpapers allow easy hanging onto walls.

Insulation

Wall rock insulation is an innovative type of wallcovering designed to reduce energy costs in your home and keep rooms warmer at lower costs than before, helping lower heating bills significantly.

Epoxy coating is also an ideal choice for covering rough or cracked plaster and walls with texture as well as reinforcing weak plasterboard, blockwork and wood panelling. Furthermore, epoxy works wonderfully as an acoustic insulation option as it helps dampen sound within a room.

Vapour permeable insulation materials such as wall rock insulation are another key advantage, since they don’t create an organic breeding ground for mold and rot that could potentially pose serious problems in older houses.

Heating elements also reflect back warm air into the room, warming it much faster and making walls warmer and more comfortable – particularly beneficial in homes that use thermostatically controlled heating.

Soundproofing

Insulation plays an integral part in maintaining thermal and acoustical comfort within buildings, such as homes, offices, industrial buildings, schools and hospitals. Selecting suitable insulation requires consideration of several key factors relating to your specific project.

Your choice of insulation material can have a dramatic impact on its sound transmission class rating (STC rating). A high STC rating signifies its effectiveness at limiting sound transmission between rooms.

Add mass to your walls in order to enhance their STC rating by layering drywall, framing studs and/or insulation in multiple layers. This method works wonders in improving soundproofing ratings.

Thick materials tend to be better at soundproofing than thin ones because their dense composition slows vibrations as they pass through them, creating an impenetrable barrier between your room and the outside world.

Fire-resistant

Wall rock insulation is an increasingly popular choice among both homeowners and builders due to its ability to increase energy efficiency in buildings. If installed incorrectly however, this insulation could cause fire risks if installed incorrectly.

Fiberglass and rock wool insulation materials don’t easily catch fire, making them safe to use around fires. Fiberglass doesn’t even begin burning until ignited by flame.

Colony insulation material cellulose provides another effective means of safeguarding homes against fire. Unlike fiberglass, which allows oxygen access for firefighter attack teams to reach them faster, cellulose limits oxygen supply which allows faster response times and ultimately saves more lives than fiberglass does.

Water-resistant

Wall rock insulation is one of the most eco-friendly insulation types available, made up of recycled materials like basalt rock and steel slag.

Insulation boards offer an excellent alternative to fiberglass batts. Being more dense than their counterpart, insulation boards boast superior soundproofing and fire-resistance qualities.

Wall rock insulation also boasts the added advantage of being water resistant, which can come in particularly handy if you live in areas prone to frequent floods or hurricanes.

Production of this insulation begins by melting raw materials at over 2,900 degrees Fahrenheit, before being blown through a spinning chamber to stretch them into fibers and eliminate all organic matter – thus rendering this form of insulation resistant to mold and mildew growth.
