Rock Wool Batt

Rock wool batt insulation fills framed wall, ceiling, and partition cavities with dense, non-combustible mineral wool — providing higher density and better acoustic performance than glass wool batt in the same cavity depth. Density typically from 30 to 80 kg/m³, thicknesses from 50 mm to 200 mm, fire classification up to Euroclass A1 — confirm exact acoustic and fire data by inquiry. Supplied from our own and partner factories — combined capacity up to 450,000 t/yr, with a one-container MOQ and LCL support.

  • Dense mineral fiber provides better low-frequency acoustic absorption in partitions and party walls than lighter glass wool batts.
  • Non-combustible material supports fire-rated wall and ceiling assembly documentation without additional fire treatment.
  • Dimensional stiffness holds position in tall steel-frame cavities where lightweight batts sag, compress, and leave gaps.

Problems This Product Solves

Common pain points this product is built to address.

Glass wool batt is too light for the acoustic density requirement in party walls.

Partition STC ratings often require higher-density cavity fill than standard glass wool batt provides. Rock wool batt delivers more mass per cavity depth for improved low-frequency sound blocking.

Fire-rated partition assemblies require non-combustible cavity insulation with Euroclass A1.

Fire-rated wall and floor/ceiling assemblies in commercial buildings specify non-combustible insulation by code. Rock wool batt achieves Euroclass A1 without chemical fire-retardant treatment.

High-STC partition walls demand dense cavity fill that lighter batts cannot provide.

Achieving STC 55+ in timber or steel-frame walls requires insulation density that adds acoustic mass to the cavity. Rock wool batt at 40–80 kg/m³ fills this role better than standard 10–16 kg/m³ glass wool.

The cavity application needs both thermal and fire performance in one product without two layers.

Installing separate thermal insulation and fire barrier is costly and complex. Rock wool batt provides thermal insulation and non-combustible fire resistance in a single cavity fill without additional layers.

Quality control

Engineered for Consistent Performance

Every batch is produced under controlled conditions and verified against international standards, so what you specify is what you receive — project after project.

Product Benefits

What sets this product apart in real projects.

Higher density than glass wool batt

Better acoustic performance and improved sound transmission loss in partition and ceiling assemblies.

Non-combustible mineral fiber

Supports fire-review documentation routes without additional fire treatment in the cavity.

Friction-fit pre-cut format

Same installation speed as glass wool batt — no additional fasteners or adhesives needed.

Available in acoustic and fire-document variants

One product family covers standard cavity fill, acoustic partition, and fire-review assembly needs.

Heavier but denser for improved sound transmission loss

Trades lightweight handling for measurably better acoustic cavity performance.

Compression packaging

Recovers to full thickness after unpacking; reduces freight volume for export.

Best-Fit Applications

Rock wool batt is most commonly used in framed cavities where higher density, acoustic performance, or fire-review documentation is needed beyond what glass wool batt provides.

Fire-rated wall assemblies

Non-combustible mineral fiber supports fire-review documentation routes in rated wall systems.

Acoustic partition walls (STC-tested systems)

Higher density improves sound transmission loss in tested partition assemblies.

Ceiling cavities requiring fire-rated insulation

Provides non-combustible cavity fill for ceiling assemblies referenced in fire documents.

Floor/ceiling assemblies with acoustic requirements

Denser batt improves acoustic separation between floors in multi-story construction.

Commercial interior partitions

Combines thermal and acoustic cavity performance for office, healthcare, and hospitality partition walls.

For large continuous surfaces, start with rock wool blanket. For pipe insulation, start with rock wool pipe. For blown cavities, start with rock wool blow-in.
Manufacturing

Why source Rock Wool Batt from SinoInsulation

  • Own factory plus a vetted partner-factory network — combined annual capacity up to 450,000 tons.
  • MOQ from one 20ft container; LCL and mixed-container (multi-material) orders supported.
  • Samples before bulk orders; custom packaging, compression packing, and private-label / OEM labeling.
  • ISO 9001 and CE held; ASTM and AS/NZS test reports available on request, matched to the selected product.
  • One inquiry, multiple materials: combine rock wool with glass wool, rubber foam, or cellular glass in a single order.

When It's Not the Best Fit

Rock wool batt is not the best first choice for every insulation condition. Review the project before using rock wool batt when:

The project needs a low-cost standard cavity fill and acoustic/fire performance is not critical. Glass wool batt is lighter and typically lower cost for standard residential cavities.
The cavity is enclosed and cannot be opened for batt placement. Rock wool blow-in may be more practical for retrofit applications.
The application involves curved tanks, vessels, or large-diameter equipment. Rock wool lamella conforms to curvature without excessive cutting.
Continuous condensation, cold-service vapor risk, or compressive load requirements are present. Rubber foam, cellular glass, or other material families may need review.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this product.

Why use rock wool batt instead of glass wool batt?

Rock wool batt is denser, providing better low-frequency acoustic absorption and non-combustible documentation for fire-rated assemblies. Glass wool batt is lighter and more economical for moderate requirements.

Can rock wool batt be used in fire-rated partitions?

Rock wool batt can be a component of fire-rated wall and ceiling assemblies, but the fire rating belongs to the tested system — not the batt alone. Confirm complete assembly documents.

What density should I choose for acoustic partitions?

Higher density provides better low-frequency absorption. The right density depends on the partition STC target, cavity depth, and wall construction. Confirm from the product datasheet.

Can rock wool batt be used in steel-frame walls?

Yes — rock wool batt's higher density and friction-fit stiffness help it hold position in tall steel-frame cavities where lightweight batts may sag.

Are custom sizes available for non-standard framing?

Custom cutting for non-standard framing dimensions may be available. Confirm width, length, thickness, quantity, and tolerance before quoting.
