ROXUL ® Insulation Products For Residential Thermal Applications
What sets ROXUL
®
insulation apart
from other insulation.
Better. Best.
Fire resistant
The combination of stone wool and recycled content
makes ROXUL
® insulation fire resistant. This non-
combustible product does not develop smoke or
promote flame spread when exposed to fire, making
ROXUL insulation a critical line of defense in fire
protection. In fact, studies have shown that stone
or mineral wool insulations provide a 54% increase
*
in overall fire resistance rating compared to
non-insulated walls.
Sag free, tight fit
The higher density of ROXUL insulation provides
superior sag resistance and fit. Once installed,
ROXUL insulation holds its shape without sagging
or slumping in the wall cavity to provide continuous
fire protection and thermal performance over time.
Water repellent
ROXUL insulation does not absorb or hold water and
will not promote mold or fungi growth. It has superior
drying potential, effectively managing moisture in the
event that it does get into the wall or floor, allowing it
to dry out and maintain its thermal properties.
Fast, easy installation
Working with ROXUL insulation is a breeze. Simply cut
with a serrated knife for quick and easy installation
between studs, around electrical boxes, pipes,
wiring, ductwork and between studs and joists
with non-standard widths.
