Rockwool Rockfloor (05Y)

Thermal and Acoustic insulation for ground floors and separating floors

Rockwool Rockfloor is a tissue faced high compressive strength slab designed to meet both Part E (Acoustic) and new Part L (2006) thermal regulations. The Rockfloor range offers a unique economic dual density thermal insulation for ground floors and acoustic insulation for separating floors. The Rockfloor range offers both rebated and square edge options.

Usage

Rockfloor insulation may be used below most floor constructions, including: • Flooring grade t & g chipboard, OSB, plywood etc. and supported on concrete slabs (ground bearing and suspended etc), or on fully boarded timber joisted floors. • Screeds laid in accordance with BS 8204: Part 1, and supported on levelled concrete slabs,plank, beam and block floors etc. • Concrete ground bearing slabs, on DPM, sand, hardcore. The unique dual density Rockfloor enables it to be laid over a slightly uneven subfloor with the lower density absorbing imperfections and the high density surface providing excellent point load resitance. Rockfloor can be placed over or under the oversite slab. If placed under the slab an upstand of Rockfloor perimeter edge insulation must be placed around the perimeter to prevent cold bridging. 

Advantages

• Excellent acoustic and thermal properties.
• High compressive resistance.
• Easy handling and fitting
• Minimises thermal and acoustic bridging.
