rockwool

Hi all, I am looking to install some insulation between the joists under the suspended ground floor of my house. Ive decided to go with Rockwool after doing some research online and weighing up the pros/cons of different methods. The plan was to create a mesh 'hammock' for the Rockwool to sit...

So, I was clearing out some old loose fill attic insulation (see pic) and part of the ceiling was not screwed in properly. While scooping, part of the ceiling tumbled onto the bed below. I think that it is old Rockwool. I have had it asbestos tested previously and it was negative during a...

We’ve recently moved house and I was looking to board the loft. There are rolls of fibre glass insulation up there, but underneath that there is lots of loose fluffy ball type insulation - pics attached. It’s like fine fibreglass or rockwool - but obviously concerned in case it’s something more...

I have just finished levelling and plaster boarding the bedroom ceiling. The loft is above this and was converted to a bedroom many years ago. I fitted Rockwoool loft insulation 100mm in between the ceiling joists before boarding up because the fibreglass insulation that was already there was a...

I took the ceiling off my upstairs bedroom in Victorian property (no cavity solid walls) to be re boarded and plastered. I am re insulating with rockwool loft insulation. The beams rest on top of the solid walls. Is it advisable to run the insulation roll in between the beams/joists over the...

Hi, Im looking at putting some insulation (rock wool) below the bathroom floor which is on the first floor. With rock wool do I need to: 1. put down insulation netting 2. Need to install a vapour barrier Thanks Chris

Hello all, I'm renovating a bedroom and taken the opportunity to put a few more power sockets in the adjoining room (see pic). This is an internal stud wall - I've put Rockwool acoustic slabs in to dampen sound but now I'm thinking should I remove the 2 pieces of Rockwool I put either side of...

Hi I'm looking to warm up the bedroom above our garage, the garage is cold, and not well insulated. I'm about to redo the bedroom above the garage and am looking at insulating between the joists under the bedroom floor/above garage cealing. Do I use 100mm celotex or go for rockwool? Do I...

Hi, We had an extension to our house and finishing some of it myself. Part of the extension was a storeroom/garage on the side with a bedroom above it. I know building regs want Rockwool, Celotex and pink board to finish but I am wondering should I: Cut the Celotex to size and fit between the...

complete novice here, apart from things I’ve read / learnt online... This year we moved into a bungalow with bedrooms built upstairs (built this way, not converted) and a small (tiny, you have to lay flat) loft space. House was built in the 80’s. It is freezing cold once the heating goes off...

Hi there, Does anyone have any advice on how to retrospectively insulate a mansard roof please? Here's the house from the front: Here's a diagram of the house from the side: There's a lot of heat loss from where the roof comes down the sides. I've already lagged the loft, but cannot get...

I'm going to soundproof a wall and am finding out as much as possible about my options before I start. I'm planning for the existing wall to be taken back to brickwork, batons added and rockwool put in between the batons. This wall has a double glazed window in it already. I then plan to have a...

We have a 3 bed semi which we bought years ago. The property had a loft conversion done in 1979 which as you can imagine does not stand up to today's building regulations in many ways. For the past five years this has been used for nothing but storage partly due to it being too cold. I would...
