What is mineral wool?
Mineral wool is an inorganic product that is manufactured using a blend of raw materials. It is a versatile material that can be manufactured at different densities to give a variety of insulation properties. Mineral wool is non-metallic and mainly comprises of stone or even silica. These materials are heated to a high temperature until molten. This molten mixture is then spun. This enables it to form into a flexible, fibrous mat that can be processed into a finished product. Mineral wool can be used for slabs for walls or rolls for loft insulation, and even acoustic panels. At Trade Insulation, we are home to a wide range of mineral wool insulation products.
Loft rolls consist of mats or batts made of mineral wool that can be easily fitted into inaccessible areas such as roof rafters. As it is manufactured from natural materials, mineral wool is non-toxic and odorless. This makes it ideal for use in areas where natural products are required. It can be used in agricultural, commercial, and domestic applications. Mineral wool is extremely lightweight and therefore practical.
Mineral Wool Fire Properties
Did you know that mineral wool insulation has fireproof properties? A product is classed as non-combustible when it has a Euroclass A1 rating under BS EN 13501-1. Mineral wool insulation is a good choice as it acts as a fire barrier. This provides additional safety and slows down the rate of house fires. This can help prevent injuries and even potential loss of life. Stone wool (Rock wool) and fiberglass (Glass Wool) have fire-resistant properties. Mineral wool such as the Knauf Earthwool 44 Loft Roll has an A1 rating and is, therefore, is non-combustible. The fire-resistant properties of mineral wool insulation are another reason why it is so used in the building industry.

Mineral wool has been used as building insulation in loft spaces and roof areas for many years. It is now becoming popular again due largely to its clean green credentials. What was once considered dirty and dusty has become a recoverable and recyclable by-product. It is now possible to find mineral wool that comes from recycled sources as well as the traditional natural by-products of the mining industry.
It is easy to install mineral wool insulation rolls in your loft and can be cut easily with a sharp knife. Mineral wool comes in a roll or batt form that simply needs to be cut to width and installed between the joists. Mineral wool batts are sold in standard widths and can be cut to your desired length.
