Rockwool Insulation is a long performance product and is resistant to aging. Like other insulation types, rockwool for insulation is available in different dimensions to suit your application. This product is dense and does not lose its form, making it an easy batt to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat is Rockwool Insulation?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRockwool is also referred to as ‘mineral wool’ and is made of natural rock. This manufacturing process involves heating the rock to extremely high temperatures, which melts the rock to a magma-like liquid consistency. This material is then pushed through a high-pressure system and spun at super-high speeds, resulting in long fine fibre strands. These strands are then arranged into thick dense mats, which are then cut to size and made into insulation batts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Install Rockwool Insulation?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRockwool is commonly referred to as fire-resistant insulation because of its exceptionally high fire ratings. This product is suitable for both residential and commercial applications. However, Rockwool insulation in Australia is a pricier product compared with glasswool (fibreglass) products and is usually prioritised in multi-dwelling buildings where it is used in partition walls.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"james-hardiefire-insulation","title":"James HardieFire Rockwool Insulation","description":"\u003ch2\u003eJames Hardie Fire Rockwool Insulation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cp\u003eJames Hardiefire Insulation is a type of mineral wool fire protection insulation designed for use in James HardieSmart Blade and Aged Care wall systems.
