ROCKWOOL RWA45 100mm Acoustic Insulation Slab (2.88m²)
SKU: 223466
Est. £21.01 - £21.01 + VATROCKWOOL RW semi-rigid and rigid slabs are high quality resin bonded stone wool slabs that can be used in general building applications.ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation is sound absorbing by nature, and can be used to significantly reduce the noise transmission into a building and between the indoor spaces.
Product Description
• Designed to provide multiple thermal and acoustic solutions
• Suitable for a wide range of general building applications
• Non-combustible – Euroclass A1 classification as defined in EN 13501-1
• Availability in a range of thicknesses and densities
• Black or white tissue, and aluminium foil facings available on request (Subject to production compatibility and minimum order quantity)
Applications: ROCKWOOL RW Slabs can be used for a wide range of applications for partitions and ceilings, as well as thermal insulation for floors, walls, and roof.
PERFORMANCE
Thermal performance: ROCKWOOL RW Slab products achieves a thermal conductivity lambda (λ) value as low as 0.034 W/mK.
Fire performance: ROCKWOOL RW Slabs are non-combustible achieving a reaction to fire classification of A1, as defined in EN13501-1.
Acoustic performance: The non-directional fibre orientation and density of stone wool means that sound waves are trapped, and vibrations dampened which can significantly reduce outside sources of noise when used in an external wall. ROCKWOOL insulation retains its shape and thickness for the lifetime of the building, which means it performs acoustically decade after decade.
Facings: RW Slabs are available with a number of facing options to one or both sides of the slab, subject to production compatibility and minimum order quantities. These options are:
• Non-woven mineral black tissue (60gsm)
• Non-woven mineral white tissue (100gsm)
• Aluminium foil
INTERNAL PARTITIONS
Dwellings: In England and Wales, Approved Document E requires all internal walls between a bedroom or room containing a WC and another room to have a minimum sound insulation of 40 Rw dB. This applies to new walls built both in dwellings formed by a material change of use and new build extensions of existing dwellings. (For Scotland, the minimum sound insulation requirement is 43 Rw dB).
Schools: Specific performance standards are set for airborne sound insulation between spaces by Building Bulletin 93 (December 2014) ‘The Acoustic Design of Schools’. This classifies each room for the purpose of airborne sound insulation by its activity purpose and sets the minimum sound insulation performance standards for each partition.
Hospitals: Similar to schools, the Healthcare Technical Manuals HTM 08-01 (previously HTM 2045) sets standards for privacy according to room type and from this the specific performance requirement for any partition can be obtained.
Fire performance requirements for internal partitions: Generally, fire performance of partitions will be determined in line with the appropriate Building Regulations. In certain buildings there may be specific fire performance requirements for partitions separating specific room types, for example in Hospitals where this is set by Firecode HTM 05-02 and Building Bulletin 100 Design for fire safety in schools.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Durability: ROCKWOOL stone wool is durable by nature. Sample testing from existing buildings shows that ROCKWOOL stone wool retains its performance for at least 65 years* without being affected by compression or temperature and humidity changes.*FIW, Durability Project Mineral Wool (2016).
Condensation: ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation allows the construction to breathe, reducing the risk of condensation, which can lead to rot, mould and humidity damage.
