Rockwool Comfortbatt is a stone wool insulation for wood studs and joists. It is used in new residential construction and in renovations, in walls, attics, ceilings, and floor frames.
The batt is semi-rigid with a flexible edge. The edge compresses as the batt is inserted, then springs back to expand against the studs for a complete fill. This lets it compensate for normal variations in stud spacing caused by distortion or warping, so the expected R-value is achieved.
The insulation is easy to cut, non-combustible, and absorbs sound well. It is water resistant, has low moisture absorption, and does not rot or promote the growth of fungi or mildew. It is made from natural and recycled materials, and the product and process are CFC and HCFC free. It can contribute to earning LEED points.
