- USG Research conducted the tests with a. variety of partition designs. The results: Thermaﬁ ber mineral wool. insulation in the 2.5 to 3.0 lbs/cu.ft. density range proved the best. overall acoustical performance. Densities above the 3 lbs/cu.ft. provided improved sound attenuation at high frequencies, but the. low-frequency performance starts to suffer at higher densities.

- The most common types of materials used for loose-fill insulation include cellulose, fiberglass, and mineral (rock or slag) wool. All of these materials are produced using recycled waste materials. Cellulose is primarily made from recycled newsprint. Most fiberglass contains 20% to 30% recycled glass.lanket insulation -- the most common and widely available type of insulation -- comes in the form of batts or rolls. It consists of flexible fibers, most commonly fiberglass. You also can find batts and rolls made from mineral (rock and slag) wool, plastic fibers, and natural fibers, such as cotton and sheep's wool.

- Texon Fiberboard is a compressed cellulose particle board that has a dense, firm composition and is much tougher and more durable than typical cardboard. These Texon Fiberboard insoles are perfectly flat, pre-cut Texon shoe inserts that are just under 1/8 of an inch thick. Texon is often used in the manufacturing of shoes and when it is used it can usually be found under the insole, glued to the mid-sole.

Insulation Materials One variation of fiberglass loose-fill insulation is the Blow-In-Blanket System ® (BIBS). BIBS is blown in dry, and tests have shown that walls insulated with a BIBS system are significantly better filled than those insulated using other forms of fiberglass insulation such as batts.

Comments: Fiberglass Insulation vs Spray Foam Insulation The R-value of spray foam insulation is approximately 6 per inch so those using spray foam as their insulator will need about 6.3 inches of thickness to reach R-38. The R-value of fiberglass insulation is approximately 2.2 per inch so much thicker fiberglass insulation is required to achieve the same R-value of 38.

- Fiberglass (or fiber glass) -- which consists of extremely fine glass fibers -- is one of the most ubiquitous insulation materials. It's commonly used in two different types of insulation: blanket (batts and rolls) and loose-fill and is also available as rigid boards and duct insulation.

- This is a better criteria to use than simply stating R-values because this is where the real differences between fiberglass and cellulose insulation are obvious. Although both types of insulation can offer similar r-values per inch, this only measures the insulation's ability to reduce conductive heat transfer.

How to Compare Rock Wool and Fiberglass Insulation Fiberglass and rock wool consist of fine fibers made from stone or glass. Proper insulation cuts your energy costs, reduces your impact on the environment and keeps your family comfortable throughout the seasons.hile both fiberglass and rock wool can help block noise, rock wool's greater density and weight make it a slightly better sound blocker than fiberglass. The DOE reports the density of fiberglass insulation at 0.5 to 1.0 pounds per cubic foot, compared to 1.7 pounds per cubic foot for rock wool.

- For optimum thermal performance, walls with 2 x 6 framing should be filled with R-21 high-density insulation. 5½ thick R-21 high-density insulation delivers 19% more R-value than 6¼ R-19 fiberglass insulation.

Insulating Material Identification Mineral Wool Insulation Identification. Mineral wool is produced by melting rock and slag to produce a mineral fiber that may be aggregated and bound by a resin for use as building insulation. Mineral wool, also called rock wool or slag wool or stone wool may be found in buildings as chopped loose-fill insulation, as longer twisted ropy loose fill insulation, or as insulating batts such as the Gold Bond Rock Wool insulating batt shown in our photograph.

- R-value of about 19.5. The ICC-ES report for Home Foam Insulthane 100 (ESR-2360, issued September 1, 2007) lists a similar maximum thickness: “The insulation, at a maximum thickness of 5 ½ inches and. a minimum density of 0.43 pcf, has a flame-spread index of. not more than 75 and a smoke-developed index of not more.

Mineral Wool Insulation Isnât Like Fiberglass Lets summarize the lesson here. What most green pundits blame on batt insulation is the fault of fiberglass insulation. While Mineral Wool is also a batt, it is a completely different product with many different properties.

ETW: Wall - 2x6 Advanced Frame Wall Construction Thermal Control. Installed Insulation R-value: There is a range of installed insulation R-values in commercially available fiberglass batts for the stud space insulation in this wall system. The installed insulation R-value for 2x6 fiberglass batt ranges between R-19 and R-21. When blown or sprayed cellulose insulation is used, the R-value is typically R-20 for 2x6 walls. Exterior insulating sheathing is typically added as expanded polystyrene (EPS) at R-4/inch, extruded polystyrene (XPS) at R-5/inch or foil-faced polyisocyanurate at R-6.5/inch.
