Product Information

Full details

The Knauf Insulation Frametherm Roll 35 (90mm) is designed for builders and renovators seeking reliable thermal and acoustic insulation for timber and steel frame construction. Its key benefit is providing dependable thermal efficiency (0.035 W/mK) and sound absorption in standard wall cavities. A potential caveat is that its 90mm thickness is optimized for standard cavities, and may not be sufficient for all high-performance thermal requirements without additional measures. This glass mineral wool insulation offers A1 non-combustible fire safety, formaldehyde-free manufacturing via ECOSE® Technology, and easy friction-fitting installation.

FAQs

What is the R-value of Knauf Frametherm Roll 35 (90mm)?

The R-value depends on the unit of measurement (metric or imperial) and the specific calculation method. However, with a thermal conductivity (lambda value) of 0.035 W/mK, it provides a good level of thermal resistance for its thickness. For precise R-value calculations, consult the product's technical data sheet or use standard thermal resistance formulas (R = thickness / lambda).

Can this insulation be used in floor or roof applications?

While primarily designed for wall cavities, its thermal and acoustic properties may allow for use in floors or roofs depending on the specific construction and building codes. Always consult relevant building regulations and technical specifications for suitability in different applications.

How much area does one roll cover?

Each roll of Knauf Frametherm Roll 35 (90mm) covers 6.84m².

Is this product suitable for soundproofing a home theater?

Yes, its glass mineral wool construction offers excellent sound absorption properties, which are beneficial for reducing reverberation and improving the acoustic environment in spaces like home theaters or studios.

What does 'ECOSE® Technology' mean?

ECOSE® Technology refers to Knauf Insulation's binder system, which uses a plant-based, formaldehyde-free chemistry. This results in products that are more environmentally sustainable and contribute to better indoor air quality.

How should I store the insulation before installation?

Store rolls in a dry, protected area, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keeping them in their original packaging until use is recommended.

What is the fire classification of this product?

Knauf Frametherm Roll 35 has an A1 fire classification, meaning it is non-combustible and does not contribute to fire spread.

Troubleshooting

Insulation is difficult to cut cleanly.

Use a sharp insulation knife or a serrated blade for a clean cut. Ensure the insulation is laid flat on a stable surface when cutting.

Gaps appear between insulation and framing.

Ensure the insulation is cut to the correct width to friction-fit snugly. If a gap is unavoidable, use offcuts to fill it completely without compressing the main roll.

Skin or eye irritation after handling.

Always wear appropriate PPE (gloves, long sleeves, eye protection, mask) during installation. If irritation occurs, wash the affected area thoroughly with soap and water and rinse eyes with clean water.

Moisture detected on insulation surface.

This indicates a potential moisture ingress issue. Identify the source of the moisture (e.g., leak, condensation) and address it. Ensure proper ventilation and vapor control measures are in place during construction.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent thermal insulation properties reduce energy costs.
  • Effective sound absorption enhances occupant comfort.
  • Non-combustible material provides a high level of fire safety.
  • Formaldehyde-free manufacturing contributes to healthier indoor air quality.
  • Easy to install due to friction-fit design and pre-cut rolls.
  • Sustainable manufacturing process.

Cons

  • 90mm thickness may require additional insulation for very high thermal performance requirements.
  • Requires personal protective equipment (PPE) during installation to avoid skin and respiratory irritation.
  • Not suitable for exposed applications; requires a facing or covering.
  • Mineral wool can be heavy and bulky to transport and handle on-site.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the frame cavities (timber or steel studs) are clean, dry, and free of debris.
  2. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, eye protection, and a dust mask, as mineral wool can irritate skin and airways.
  3. Unroll the insulation and cut to size if necessary, though it's often pre-cut for standard stud spacing.
  4. Friction-fit the insulation snugly between the studs, ensuring there are no gaps or compression.
  5. Continue until all cavities are filled.

Compatibility:

  • Designed for use in timber frame and steel frame wall constructions.
  • Compatible with standard plasterboard or other suitable internal and external cladding systems.
  • Ensure compatibility with any vapor control layers or air barriers as per building regulations.

Care:

  • Store rolls in a dry environment, ideally under cover, to prevent moisture absorption.
  • Handle with care to avoid excessive compression, which can reduce thermal performance.
  • Clean the surrounding work area after installation to remove any dust or fibers.
