Loose Rockwool
Rockwool Loose Fill is loose insulation material composed of mineral fibers derived from natural stone, primarily basalt. These fibers are processed and formed into loose particles. This type of Rockwool insulation is particularly suited for filling voids, attics, and other hard-to-reach areas where traditional insulation forms might not be practical. It provides thermal insulation, sound absorption, and fire resistance benefits.
