Rockbatts Mineral Wool

 

Rockbatts is a high quality thermal insulation batt to ensure your pine frame wall achieves FRL 60/60/60  

 

 

Step 1

Check that you have the correct R-Value required on the drawings/plans.
Check the joist width to determine the correct insulation batt width.
Work progressively around the perimeter of the building/room.
When installing, energise each batt by giving it a light shake and gently bouncing it on its side, to help the batt expand to the thickness specified on the label.

 

Step 2

The insulation may be trimmed to appropiate sizes if required.
When cutting to fill a void, oversize by around 10mm to ensure a snug fit
Do not leave folds of or compress the insulation material
Fill gaps around lintels, double framing, windows and doors with off-cuts
Trim and place product around vents to allow ventilation systems to operate as intended
Shape and fit insulation behind electrical wiring and plumbing work
Use string to hold in place (if required)
Ensure insulation does not protrude beyond the line of the studs.

 

Step 3
Always make sure your insulation has a snug fit, with a uniform finished height.
