What is mineral wool and what are the benefits of using it in insulation?
Mineral wool is a type of insulation material made from natural minerals, typically basalt or slag, that have been melted and spun into fibers. It is often used in insulation for walls, roofs, and other building cavities due to its good thermal and acoustic insulation properties.
The benefits of using mineral wool insulation include:
1. Fire resistance: Mineral wool is naturally fire resistant and has a slow rate of combustion.
2. Thermal performance: Mineral wool provides good thermal insulation, helping to reduce heating and cooling costs.
3. Acoustic insulation: It can effectively reduce the transmission of sound through walls, roofs, and other building cavities.
4. Durability: It is resistant to moisture, mold, and mildew, which helps maintain its insulating properties over time.
5. Sustainability: Mineral wool is made from natural, abundant materials and is recyclable.
6. Health and safety: It is non-toxic and does not emit any harmful fumes, making it a safe option for insulation.
