Traditional batt rolled fiberglass style insulation has been in use for decades. Most homes are built using it from the start. In attics it has a tendency to attract dust and dirt in the air and can become dirty and it makes a nice home for rodents and pests. Many newer homes are built with blown in cellulose insulation instead. when it comes to the walls and ceilings of a home, the same can be true. With traditional insulation often compressing of falling, it can be less effective in actually insulating. Air can easily pass through along with sound. Most people don't realize what is behind their walls and in the ceilings above their heads.
Solution
Rock Wool is a by product of steel manufacturing and has many uses for insulation. It can be dense packed into a ceiling cavity to insulate garages of finished walls. It is denser than traditional insulation, has a better R value for performance and has the added benefit of helping with noise reduction. in an open framed wall like the ones shown here, it easily installs and can be packed in and around utility pipes and wires. Rock Wool is fire retardant and is treated with a compound that turns away rodents.
