Knauf Earthwool - Glass Mineral Wool Acoustic Insulation Roll APR - 13.5m x2/600mm x 50mm (16.20m2)

Noise pollution costs the UK billions each year - be it due to health concerns relating to noise pollution, lack of productivity and so on. As people are increasingly turning towards insulation, not just for the warmth, but also for their soundproofing abilities. The building regulations also specify the use of insulation in external walls and separate elements to block out noise and acoustic insulation rolls are specially designed to keep the sound out. 

Knauf acoustic roll is made of fibreglass. In addition to its thermal and fire benefits fibreglass, gives exceptional sound insulation due to its unique fibre matrix. Fibreglass insulation traps sound waves within its structure and converts them into heat energy. Due to this, less sound energy passes through, resulting in significant sound reduction. Acoustic insulation roll is meticulously crafted to contribute very little to the overall mass of the building structure.  

Knauf acoustic rolls are non-combustible and have the highest possible A1 rating from Euroclass. Acoustic rolls are specifically manufactured to add value to plasterboard linings as well as to refit inner walls and floors to extend expert sound-absorbing qualities. They are designed to comply with sound-related building regulations. They are durable and lightweight which makes the installation easy. Knauf rolls are also water-resistant and they do not support the growth of moulds or vermins. 

Fibreglass insulation from Knauf is made more environmentally friendly and human-friendly using Knauf’s very own bio-binder based ECOSE Technology. Glass mineral wool insulation manufactured using this technology saves up to 70% energy with no added formaldehyde or phenol, compared to traditional binders. As a result, acoustic insulation roll produced releases low levels of dust, improving air quality.  Ecose technology also makes acoustic rolls easy to handle and soft to touch.
