      Answer This Question

      A:  Hello Duane, the Fire and Sound Guard Plus has a service temperature of 2000° F and can be installed in a wall behind a wood burning stove. It would be difficult to install 7" of Fire and Sound Guard Plus and compress down to 6". We would recommend filling the cavity as much as possible. We manufacture a 5.5" thick R-21 Fire and Sound Guard Plus. Please see link below. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Corning-15-in-x-47-in-R21-Thermafiber-Fire-and-Sound-Guard-Plus-Mineral-Wool-Insulation-Batt-1196589/319880604 Thank you for your inquiry!

        Q:Does this come like the pictures? Or is it flimsy like insulation.
        by|Feb 1, 2024
        1 Answer
        Answer This Question

        A:  Hello Tony, While the Thermafiber Fire and Sound Guard Plus Mineral Wool Insulation is more rigid than Fiberglass Insulation batts it is flexible and pliable. The insulation is easy to cut with a serrated knife for custom fitting around electrical boxes, pipes, duct-work, wiring, or between non-standard studs and joist. Once in place, the Thermafiber Fire and Sound Guard Plus Mineral Wool insulation naturally expands to fill in the space, creating a snug, custom fit. Thank you for your inquiry.

          Like a sponge
          I don't know why they say it does not absorb water, I had some pieces get wet and they are like a sponge full of water, no drying.

            The only thing that makes sense is using double rockwool insulation if attempting to get some major sound proofing properties.

            Great product! Just need to make sure you're wearing a mask when installing as there is a fair amount of dust.
