FAQ
What is Rockwool RW3?
Rockwool RW3 panels are mineral wool slabs commonly used for wall, floor, ceiling, and roof insulation. The high Rockwool RW3 density and stone wool fibres trap air, reducing heat and sound transfer to lend the material its highly desirable insulation properties.
How do i install Rockwool RW3?
Start by measuring the cavity, then cut your RW3 slab to fit or slightly oversize for a snug fit. Fix the slab firmly, taking care to leave no gaps. In framed constructions, simply friction-fit it into the space. Otherwise, use the appropriate fasteners. Finish with plasterboard or decorative panels, as applicable.
Always remember to wear gloves, a mask, and protective clothing when handling Rockwool RW3 slab.
Is Rockwool RW3 waterproof?
No, RW3 is not waterproof. However, it is highly water-repellent and moisture-resistant. Its stone wool fibres do not readily absorb water, meaning they won’t rot or support mould growth.
