Whatever your project needs, mineral wool slabs and batts can provide thermal or acoustic insulation.

Mineral wool products can contribute to the acoustic and thermal performance of timber and metal stud walls, separating floors and ceilings, cavity and external walls. Available in slab and batt formats.

Take a closer look at the benefits of insulation slabs and batts

Dependent upon the performance of each specific product, there are advantages to choosing mineral wool insulation in slab and batt formats. Let’s look at the core elements.

Ease of install

When mineral wool is manufactured into slabs or batts, this format can offer ease of installation due to their size, shape, and ability to cut and friction-fit between studs with minimal waste.

Multi-application use

Mineral wool insulation slabs and batts can provide solutions for a wide range of insulation applications within the building and construction industry. These could include external facades, cavity walls, roofs and floors.

Fit various stud widths

Slabs and batts are available in various widths making them flexible for use according to your needs.

Thermal insulation

The small pockets within the mineral wool structure trap air, which is a poor conductor of heat. Used as part a system to provide thermal insulation, mineral wool in slab or batt format can help to improve thermal efficiency and reduce overall energy costs.

Acoustic performance

The non-continuous structure of the glass fibres that make up glass mineral wool slabs and batts impede the passage of sound. This can be used in systems to reduce airborne sound transmission and improve acoustic properties when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s system installation guidance. For our system information, please refer to the British Gypsum White Book specification selector. 

Manufactured in various sizes and densities to suit different types of projects, glass and stone mineral wool slabs and batts are straightforward to install into stud spacings.
