What Is Rock Wool Insulation
Mineral Fiber Made For Modern Performance
Rock wool (also called mineral wool) is a high-performance insulation made from natural basalt rock and recycled steel slag. These materials are melted at extreme temperatures and spun into dense, interlocking fibers that deliver exceptional thermal resistance, fire performance, and sound control. Naturally hydrophobic yet vapor-permeable, rock wool helps manage moisture while maintaining a stable R-value across a wide temperature range.
Unlike some conventional options, rock wool is noncombustible (ASTM E136) with a melting point around 2150°F (1177°C), making it an ideal component in robust fire-rated assemblies. Its density and fiber structure provide excellent acoustic absorption, while its dimensional stability resists settling over time. Belmont Insulation specifies proven brands and assemblies that meet or exceed building codes for durable, healthy, and efficient buildings.
Comfort, Safety, And Savings In Every Season
High thermal efficiency helps reduce heating and cooling loads, with typical batts delivering approximately R-4.0 to R-4.3 per inch. When used as continuous exterior insulation, rock wool also helps cut thermal bridging through framing, improving whole-wall performance. Its moisture resistance inhibits mold growth, and its vapor permeability supports assemblies that dry effectively.
Rock wool’s noncombustible fibers enhance passive fire protection, slowing flame spread and adding valuable time for occupants and first responders. The same dense fibers significantly dampen noise transfer for quieter interiors. Durable, pest- and rot-resistant, and often made with recycled content, rock wool supports sustainability goals while lowering utility bills and improving year-round comfort.
Expert Methods For Reliable Results
Every project begins with a thorough assessment to identify energy losses, moisture risks, and code requirements. Belmont Insulation tailors solutions to the building type and use, selecting the right format—batts, rigid boards, or loose-fill—along with appropriate thickness, air sealing, and vapor management to meet performance targets.
Preparation is key: penetrations are sealed, ventilation pathways are verified, and interfaces with mechanicals and electrical boxes are detailed. Our installers fit batts without compression, custom-cut around obstructions, and integrate rigid boards with proper fasteners, furring, and weather-resistive barriers. This attention to detail helps ensure continuous thermal layers and robust assemblies.
Quality checks verify coverage, density, and secure fastening, followed by a clean jobsite. As requested, we coordinate performance testing, provide documentation for code compliance, and explain maintenance best practices. Belmont Insulation stands behind our workmanship with clear warranties and support.
