What is rockwool mat?

Rockwool mat, also known as mineral wool or stone wool blankets, are flexible insulation products made from molten rock spun into fine fibres. These mats offer exceptional versatility, making them ideal for insulating irregular surfaces, pipes, and equipment in various industrial and commercial settings.

Types of rockwool mat we offer:

1. Rockwool wired mat: Reinforced with a wire mesh for added strength and easier installation on vertical surfaces or overhead applications.
2. Rockwool foil faced mat: Laminated with aluminium foil for enhanced moisture resistance and vapour barrier properties.

Key features and benefits of rockwool mat

Our rockwool mat provides numerous advantages for demanding industrial and commercial applications:

1. Superior flexibility: Easily conforms to irregular shapes and curved surfaces, ideal for pipe insulation and equipment wrapping.
2. Excellent thermal performance: Effectively reduces heat transfer, improving energy efficiency in various temperature ranges.
3. Outstanding fire resistance: Being non-combustible rockwool offers superior fire protection in industrial settings.
4. Effective sound absorption: Helps reduce noise levels in industrial and commercial environments.
5. Moisture resistance: Naturally water-repellent, reducing the risk of mould and mildew growth.
6. Durability: Maintains insulation performance over time, even under vibration and temperature fluctuations.

Installation guidelines

While rockwool mat is known for its ease of installation, follow these tips for optimal performance:

1. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment.
2. Measure and cut mats to size, allowing for a snug fit around pipes or equipment.
3. For pipe insulation, ensure the longitudinal joints are positioned away from traffic areas.
4. When using wired mat, use the wire mesh for securing the insulation in place.
5. For Foil Faced Mats, ensure proper overlap and sealing of joints to maintain vapour barrier integrity.
6. In multi-layer applications, stagger the joints for maximum insulation effectiveness.
