ROCKWOOL AFB® presents itself as a lightweight, acoustically-optimized fire batt made from stone wool insulation. It is specially crafted for interior wall and floor applications involving steel studs, prioritizing sound absorption and fire safety to enhance overall comfort and occupant well-being.
AFB® exhibits an increased density that effectively minimizes sound transmission. For even greater noise control, AFB® can be integrated into the wall assembly alongside gypsum boards and resilient channels.
Furthermore, AFB® is non-combustible and resists the development of toxic smoke or the spread of flames, even when directly exposed to fire. This invaluable characteristic provides additional time for people to evacuate safely and for firefighting personnel to manage fire containment. AFB® plays a vital role in constructing fire-rated partitions and is available in various thicknesses to cater to the demands of both retrofit and new construction projects.
