Our take on the Rockwool AFB Acoustic Fire Batt 1.5 in x 16 in x 48 in, 12 Bags

Rockwool AFB is a mineral wool batt made for interior wall and floor systems where sound control and fire resistance matter most. It is noncombustible, chemically inert and repels water, so it will not rot or feed mildew, fungi or bacteria. Its stiffness lets it friction-fit between studs and joists without fasteners, which suits party walls, plant rooms and manufacturing partitions. Against glass fiber batts it is denser and better at blocking sound and fire, but heavier and it needs gloves and a mask to handle.

About the Rockwool AFB Acoustic Fire Batt 1.5 in x 16 in x 48 in, 12 Bags

Rockwool AFB (Acoustical Fire Batt) is a mineral wool batt insulation made for wall and floor systems where acoustical performance and fire resistance matter most. It is noncombustible and lightweight, and it dampens sound well.

Questions and answers

Is Rockwool AFB safe to leave exposed?
It is noncombustible and chemically inert, but mineral fibers irritate skin and lungs. Wear gloves, long sleeves and a respirator while handling, and cover it with drywall in finished spaces.
How does AFB differ from Rockwool Safe'n'Sound?
Both are mineral wool acoustic batts. AFB is aimed at fire-rated wall and floor assemblies and comes in specific thicknesses for those systems; Safe'n'Sound is sold for interior soundproofing in standard stud bays.
Does it work for soundproofing a party wall?
Yes. It is made for party walls and other assemblies where acoustics are the priority. Fill the full cavity and seal gaps, since sound leaks through any opening.
Can it get wet?
It repels water and will not rot or promote mildew, but it is not a waterproofing product. Fix the leak and dry the cavity before closing the wall.
What is in the box?
Twelve bags of mineral wool batts, each 1.5 in thick, 16 in wide and 48 in long. Fasteners and facing are not included.
Does it need a vapor barrier?
AFB is not a vapor barrier. In exterior walls, add the vapor retarder your local code requires on the warm side of the assembly.
