| Tool / Material | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Measuring Tape | Accurate measurement of installation area |
| Utility Knife / Saw | Cutting boards to fit dimensions |
| Protective Gear | Gloves, goggles, dust mask |
| Fasteners / Clips | Secure boards to walls, ceilings, or ducts |
| Sealant / Tape | Seal joints to prevent air or moisture leaks |
Measure and Cut: Measure the area accurately and cut boards slightly larger than required for a snug fit.
Positioning: Place boards with the facing outward, ensuring tight joints and minimal gaps.
Fixation: Secure boards using mechanical fasteners, adhesive, or clips as per manufacturer guidelines.
Seal Joints: Apply sealant or tape to all seams to maintain thermal integrity and prevent moisture infiltration.
Inspection: Check for misalignment, gaps, or damage before operational use.
Always wear gloves, goggles, and dust masks.
Avoid inhaling fibers; use respiratory protection in enclosed spaces.
Keep boards away from open flames or high-temperature surfaces during installation.
| Fault | Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sagging or warping | Improper support or over-compression | Reinstall with correct support and spacing |
| Reduced thermal performance | Water/moisture exposure or compressed fibers | Replace affected boards; ensure vapor barrier integrity |
| Moisture damage | High humidity or leaks | Inspect and maintain sealing; store boards in dry conditions |
| Acoustic performance decline | Gaps between boards or improper installation | Re-align boards; seal gaps and joints |
| Fire safety issue | Improper proximity to heat sources | Maintain safe distance and follow fire safety guidelines |
Understanding fault causes helps in preventive maintenance and prolongs the life of the insulation board.
Regular maintenance ensures the thermal, acoustic, and fire performance remains optimal.
| Task | Frequency | Method |
|---|---|---|
| Visual Inspection | Every 6 months | Check for damage, gaps, sagging, or moisture intrusion |
| Cleaning | Annually | Use dry cloth or vacuum; avoid water or chemicals |
| Sealant Check | Every 12 months | Reapply tape/sealant on joints if necessary |
| Performance Verification | Every 2–3 years | Test thermal and acoustic performance if required |
Dry Cleaning: Use a soft brush or vacuum to remove dust.
Spot Cleaning: For minor stains, use a damp cloth sparingly on the facing only.
Avoid Water Exposure: Excess moisture may reduce insulation effectiveness.
Post-Cleaning Inspection: Inspect for any damage or deterioration in the core or facing.
The Lightweight Rock Wool Insulation Board comes with a 10-year warranty, covering:
Manufacturing defects in the core or facing material.
Structural stability under normal installation and operating conditions.
Fire performance compliance under standard operating conditions.
Conditions:
Installation must follow manufacturer guidelines.
Boards must be stored in a dry, ventilated environment prior to use.
Misuse, chemical exposure, or accidental damage voids the warranty.
