Installing insulation under floorboards helps to improve thermal and acoustic performance of ground, intermediate, separating and floating floors.
Learn how our high density, stone wool insulation boards lower the carbon footprint of buildings, improve the acoustic performance of their floors – and make them more energy efficient too.

High-rise developments often use floating floors to block unwanted noise from traveling through the floor and reaching occupants below.
Floating floor insulation boards disconnect the surface that is being walked on, from the load bearing floor. This helps to block excess sound traveling through and helps tenants enjoy better sleep, and improved quality of life – thanks to the reduced noise1.
Insulation boards can also be placed underneath ground floor spaces, helping to lessen draughts and block cool air which may escape the property – reducing heat gained.
Premium floor insulation boards:
ROCKWOOL stone wool won’t deteriorate over time. Maintaining its shape and performance throughout the lifespan of a building, it provides insulation for life4.
To work out how much insulation you’ll need, determine the m2 surface of the entire floor space. Then, for the required thickness, you can find acoustic reports and required performance levels on our relevant product webpages.
Acoustic reports and calculator tools may be available with data that is relevant to your local market. These can help you find the optimal solution for your building or renovation project.
To reduce energy bills, the insulation of ground floors is often extremely valuable. Adding a thermal insulation layer, in combination with acoustic floor products, can help achieve lower energy bills.
ROCKWOOL floor insulation boards harness the power of earth’s abundant resource – stone – to create floating floor solutions that provide:

ROCKWOOL floor insulation boards are simple to apply to any ground, separating or intermediate floor.
When installing insulation floorboards, it’s best to consult our product web pages, which provide instructional guides on how to lay them correctly.
Key tips:
When we develop insulation solutions, the environment is at the forefront of our minds.
Our production process uses as little water as possible, resulting in zero water waste discharge for the environment10.
We use both raw and recycled materials too, ensuring 70 percent of the total volume of products we sell are recycled11.
Sustainable ROCKWOOL insulation is:
We’re also committed to minimising our carbon footprint. That’s why we have set goals for reducing our water usage, as well as waste that heads to landfill12.
ROCKWOOL is non-combustible and has a melting point of over 1000℃. In an event of a fire, ROCKWOOL insulation can reduce spread of flames and provide precious time to save your family and your home.
