7 reasons I went with Rockwool. #1 today's video was sponsored by rockwool. 🤣
-
at the start of the video, you could already tell how well insulated his house is from the audio in the video. this is the best sound quality I've heard from inside an incomplete house
-
Former insulator here. It is good stuff. We only installed it to meet certain fire codes, usually in commercial buildings. I would say around 90 percent of all homes being built still use fiberglass batts in the walls and blown in the attic though, they don't want to pay for the extra cost up front despite the obvious benefits.

22 years ago I chose Rockwool for my house and have no regrets! Its awesome stuff!
-
I installed RockWool Safe-n-Sound in the partition walls when I remodeled my basement in 2012. I was adding a bedroom for my father-in-law and he's a super light sleeper - very sensitive to all sounds. His room is now the only place in the house where he gets decent sleep. The stuff works, and the added benefit of fire resistance is great for some extra peace of mind. Glad to see some videos to expand the knowledge of these products.
-
Civil Engineering from Denmark here. If you didn’t know Rockwool is a Danish company. Doing my work and studies, Rockwool is all we talk about. As a science nerd I aspire to work for Rockwool, not just because they make nice insulation but also because they might have the best R&D department in the country. Meaning, they have so many nice products. Good luck with the build.

I've got rockwool insulation in my garage as of a week ago and you aren't kidding one bit Matt, the sound dampening out there almost keeps up with the 1 foot thick SIPs in my house...its just ridiculous! You do a bang up job pushing construction tech and info out to the masses, so cheers to that bud! Best of luck with with the rest of the house and thanks for taking us along for the ride too.

When renovating our 1800s era home I used the safe and sound by Rockwool for the stairwell in addition to fire rated drywall as it being our only means of escape from the second floor in the event of a fire. I figured it was pretty cheap insurance as an extra layer! I also appreciated the rigidity of the product when installing in the basement crawlspace under the foyer.

After watching many videos Rockwool is the only insulation I will ever use. I've been renovating a mobile home on a 2nd property and I've used it exclusively. It's worth the $. Rodent and insect proof. Fire proof. Water proof. Sound deadening. I love this stuff. I have one mini-split in that home and it's real cheap to run thanks to proper insulation. Best tip: use a bread knife! So easy! Attach it to a magnetic measuring tape for precise cuts.
-
Just got finished putting the R15 RW batts in my shop building, and my wife said she cant even hear my planer or tablesaw outside. It was also incredibly easy to install. I used an electric bread knife to make all my cuts, which worked way better than I expected.
-
As a commercial construction worker I'm extremely familiar with rockwool. It's an excellent product not nearly as dangerous as something either fiberglass or cotton-based or paper based. I constantly had engineers in Florida asking repetitively for it. And I was happy when they did
-
You've had me sold on Rockwool even though my contractor is trying to change my mind.
-
Yup! That’s it I had it!! I’m ripping my walls out and replacing my standard pink installation with rock wool🤣. Been debating and watching videos on here for a few weeks now and this video persuaded me. Thank you for educating us viewers! I wanna turn my bedroom into half studio and half bedroom and I think imma give that Rock wool a try. Oh ! And I’ll probably incorporate it in any future builds like you have your whole entire house. Thank you!
-
Love your videos. Covers all aspects, best materials of the how's and why's. I've been passing on your channel to others within my Discord for my friends that are doing major remodeling of their old houses. Thank you. Even for the DIYer, contractors coming in have given compliments of the work within my house for areas I can't cover. Also thank you for all the links attached to your videos, it has made hunting down the materials for certain areas , our stores don't carry to order it in.
-
Your videos are so good and accurate and precise, I appreciate it from someone that builds and invents this is great information. Great job well done rockwool is amazing!
-
I used Rockwool when I built an office and it made a huge difference in noise reduction. This stuff is amazing and easy to install even a DIY.
-
Just did my entire house in rockwool. I live in the High Desert of Southern California, where it's 115° in the Summer and snows in the winter. Its like living in a ice chest. The insulation properties and sound deadening is insane. Definitely worth the extra money. Probably the best thing I did in my remodel especially considering the price of utilities nowadays.
-
I remember using this with a Gyproc system, double board in Soundbloc and acoustic sealant. It works and very easy to install.
-
GREAT info! Loved the real-world demo with the shop vac at the end. I’m envisioning having guests over and not even disturbing a sleeping baby. Kudos, great work as always!
