Mineral Wool Batt Insulation for Interior Wall, Partition & Ceiling Systems

SHENZHOU Rock wool batts for interior wall is a semi-rigid stone wool insulation slab designed for superior thermal, acoustic, and fire performance in masonry cavity walls. Fully filling the cavity without the need for air gaps, it provides consistent insulation, enhanced energy efficiency, and excellent moisture resistance. It is suitable for internal partition walls, floors and ceilings of residential wooden and steel structures that require excellent fire resistance and acoustic performance.

Rock wool batts function as a cavity-fill insulation layer in building envelope systems, relying on fiber entanglement and air void stabilization rather than closed-cell structures.

 

Mineral Wool Batt Insulation System Application

Rock wool batts are not a surface insulation material. They are installed inside structural cavities as part of a layered system:

Interior Partition Wall (Steel Stud / Timber Stud)

  • ·   Installed between vertical studs as friction-fit insulation
  • ·   Works with gypsum board to form acoustic separation system
  • ·   Maintains position without sagging over time

Floor / Ceiling Assemblies

  • ·   Used between joists for airborne sound reduction
  • ·   Enhances fire resistance between floors in multi-storey buildings

Lightweight Interior Wall Systems

  • ·   Used in office partitions, residential rooms, hotels, and commercial interiors
  • ·   Improves speech privacy and reduces transmission noise

 

Advantages

  • ·   Delivers excellent thermal insulation with a low thermal conductivity of 0.037 W/m·K, helping to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency
  • ·   Euroclass A1 non-combustible, providing the highest level of fire safety and peace of mind
  • ·   Water-repellent yet breathable, allowing moisture vapour to pass through while preventing water ingress
  • ·   Semi-rigid batts fit snugly between wall ties, ensuring a continuous insulation layer with minimal gaps
  • ·   Provides effective acoustic absorption, reducing sound transmission through external and separating walls
  • ·   Durable and dimensionally stable, maintaining performance throughout the lifetime of the building
  • ·   Manufactured from natural volcanic rock and recycled materials, supporting sustainable and environmentally responsible construction

Rock Wool Batts Thermal Performance

Thermal conductivity depends on density and compression behavior in stud cavities.

Application Type Density (kg/m³) λ (W/m·K) Function
Interior partition wall 30–45 0.037–0.040 acoustic + basic thermal
Standard wall batt 45–60 0.035–0.037 balanced performance
High acoustic wall system 60–80 0.034–0.036 sound + fire critical walls

Unlike foam insulation, performance stability in rock wool batts is maintained through fiber structure rather than gas retention, which allows consistent behavior in vertical cavities.

APPLICATION RANGE

Rock wool batts are widely used in:

  • ·   Interior partition walls (residential & commercial buildings)
  • ·   Drywall stud wall systems
  • ·   Ceiling and floor cavity insulation
  • ·   Acoustic wall systems in offices and hotels
  • ·   Renovation and retrofit wall insulation projects

 

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE (Interior Wall Focus)

Rock wool batts are widely used in interior wall systems due to their sound attenuation capability.

Performance mechanism:

  • ·   Open fiber structure absorbs airborne sound energy
  • ·   Converts sound wave energy into heat through friction
  • ·   Reduces transmission through stud cavities

Typical applications:

  • ·   bedroom / bathroom partition walls
  • ·   office separation walls
  • ·   hotel room acoustic systems
  • ·   meeting room partitions

 

FIRE BEHAVIOR (PASSIVE PROTECTION LAYER)

Rock wool batts provide inherent fire resistance due to mineral composition:

  • ·   Does not ignite under standard fire exposure
  • ·   Maintains structural integrity above 1000°C
  • ·   No toxic smoke emission
  • ·   Acts as fire barrier inside stud cavities

In multi-layer wall systems, rock wool is often specified as part of fire-rated wall assemblies (tested systems) rather than standalone rating.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (Rock Wool Batts Insulation)

Rock wool batts are used as cavity insulation inside interior partition walls, floor assemblies, and ceiling systems. They improve acoustic separation, fire resistance, and thermal buffering in framed wall structures.

Yes. Rock wool batts provide thermal resistance through mineral fiber structure. In interior walls, they are mainly used for acoustic control and fire performance, with thermal insulation as a secondary benefit.

Rock wool batts are semi-flexible insulation designed for stud cavities, while boards are rigid insulation used for exterior walls, façades, and roof systems.

Yes. Rock wool batts are widely used in acoustic partition systems because their fiber structure absorbs airborne sound and reduces transmission between rooms.

Rock wool batts are non-combustible mineral insulation materials (typically Euroclass A1 under EN 13501-1). They do not contribute to fire spread and maintain stability under high temperature exposure.

They are installed by friction fit between studs or joists. Proper installation requires full cavity fill without gaps and slight compression for tight fitting.
