Roxul falls into the mid range of pricing, more expensive than the fiberglass, but less than sprayfoam. It is made from stone and recycled steel slag. These readily available and sustainable materials make Roxul more durable, less irritating, and less dusty than fiberglass batt. Along with the higher price comes the benefit of a higher R-value than fiberglass insulation. For the same thickness, Roxul provides a higher R-value meaning you can use less Roxul and have the same insulating power as Fiberglass batt. Similar to fiberglass Roxul is moisture resistant. Roxul actually repels water, and won’t absorb moisture like some of its competitors. This keeps your insulation spaces dryer, and protects the materials around it. Roxul is also inert meaning it is resistant to mold, bacterial growth, and rot. That means Roxul keeps performing without compromising the health and integrity of your home or commercial building. Roxul gives you peace of mind with a fire resistant design that makes safety a high priority in your living space. Unlike Fiberglass, Roxul is great for sound proofing. It effectively reduces airflow and sound transmissions. Its higher air flow resistance means better sound attenuation for a quieter environment.
