why Rockwool
the industry's most durable insulation
Rockwool vs. fiberglass
Rockwool has a higher R-value per inch compared to fiberglass, which is roughly a 22-37% higher R-value. Rockwool has a much higher melting point than fiberglass, and as such it is often considered the more fire-resistant material. It also does not absorb water like fiberglass. Fiberglass compresses when it gets wet, and loses r-value. Rockwool will dry, and ultimately perform just as it did before getting wet.
durable and long lasting
When installed in a proper system and according to the manufacturer’s specifications, Rockwool insulation should last as long as your building. Because Rockwool products are inorganic, they will not decay over time, therefore they maintain their properties as long as there is no physical damage caused to them. Fiberglass will need to be replaced within 10-15 years. To boot, it is the most fire and water resistant insulation material on the market.
Replaced attic insulation in attic. Crew worked quickly and efficiently. Got the R factor to 38. This has made a significant difference in the interior of the house! It stays cleaner and the air seems fresher. I’m anxious for the next utility bill to see what difference is post-new insulation!
I have noticed a significant improvement in my home. Very professional, on time, worked nonstop except for a lunch break the first day (removing all old insulation- it was a MESS!). Worked nonstop the 2nd day – blowing in the insulation. I don’t hesitate to recommend to anyone and everyone.
We recently had additional insulation added in our attic space. There was a noticeable difference. The installers arrived on time and completed the project within a couple of hours. I recommend Milex to everyone considering a new house or additional protection in their home.
frequently asked questions
is rockwool insulation resistant to moisture and rotting
Unlike its competitors, Rockwool actually repels water, and it will not absorb moisture like other fibers do. As a result, you will not have any condensation inside your insulation spaces, which will prevent degradation of the adjacent construction material also. This product is fully impervious to rot, mildew, mold, and bacterial growth of any kind. In addition, since Rockwool is made of inorganic stone materials, it will not mold after getting wet. Rockwool should completely dry out and be just as effective as before, even after getting wet.
is rockwool insulation fireproof
It is extremely fire resistant, making Rockwool insulation a suitable material for fireproofing. Rockwool insulation is made from non-combustible, inorganic fire-resistant stone wool that can withstand temperatures above 1,000°C1. This significantly helps prevent fire spread in your home or office building. Rockwool insulation also does not contribute significantly to the emission of dangerous quantities of toxic smoke. Because Rockwool is so fire resistant, it is frequently used in fire blocking applications such as chimneys and fireplaces and areas where the material needs to be left exposed. Rockwool insulation has actually been awarded a Euroclass A1 fire rating. If fire prevention is your main concern, look no further than Rockwool for your home.
is rockwool good for sound proofing
Rcokwool is three times denser than fiberglass, meaning it is much more capable of noise reduction in your home. Rockwool also has a fiber matrix that absorbs sound waves. Because this matieral is so durable, it will maintain it’s sound proofing effectiveness for years and years. Insulation that provides top tier sound proofing should not be overlooked. Achieving a quiet home has everything to do with it’s insulation. If this is a need for your family, look no further than Rockwool insulation.
