Batt and quilt products

A 60 mm thick high density stone-wool insulation slab, finished on both faces with an ablative coating and intended as a fire penetration seal around mechanical and electrical services passing through fire resisting walls and floors or as a blank seal. The product is manufactured using an automated spraying and curing technique to ensure an even coating thickness. Added benefits include the system’s ability to provide a cold smoke seal, air tightness and excellent acoustic performance.

To install, the Ablative Coated Batts are simply cut and friction fitted between the services and the edges of the surrounding structure. Rockwool Acoustic Intumescent Sealant is used to seal around each service (or lagging) and around the perimeter where the batts meet the surrounding structure. Finally, the ablative coating is brush or spray applied over all joints to form a clean, monolithic layer.

Plastic pipes must be sleeved locally with Rockwool Insulated Pipe Sleeves as they pass through the Ablative Coated Batts (specify in clause 44). Where a fire resistance insulation performance is required for metal pipes, these need to be lagged with Rockwool Fire Tube or Pipe Sections.

For floor openings in excess of 600 x 600mm or where a load-bearing capability is required, Rockwool Firepro Firestop Compound is recommended.

Rockwool insulation products do not contain blowing agents with an ozone depletion potential (ODP) or global warming potential (GWP), are CFC-HCFC-HFC free and 97% recyclable. They will not react with metal components (1) or cause loss of plasticiser from PVC cables and pipes.

Advantages:

• Excellent fire resistance from single thickness Batt Standard size: 1200 x 600 x 50 mm.

• Suitable for sealing wall and floor voids containing most commonly used services.

• Can be used as a blank seal and a head of wall seal.

• Lightweight and simple installation.

• Maintenance free.

• 160kg/m3 density base material provides additional benefits of a smoke and acoustic seal.

• Tested for air tightness.

Mayplas SD5 Foam is designed for use as a resilient layer under screeds in concrete base with floating layer constructions. Meets requirements in Robust Details Part E for Resilient Layer in separating floor - concrete E-FC-3.

Benefits:

Mayplas Acoustic Pad is designed for use in metal tray suspended ceiling systems. It helps reduce 'room-to-room' sound transmission over ceiling voids and helps dampen sound within the room. It is especially suitable for high tech or sensitive areas where loose fibres could cause problems. Fire rating to Class 0 of the Building Regulations (E&W).

Benefits:

• No loose fibres in ceiling void.

• Helps reduce 'room-to-room' sound.

• Meets Class 0 of the Building Regulations (E&W).

• Shows black through ceiling perforations.
