How much does sound attenuation insulation reduce noise between offices?

Installing mineral wool sound attenuation batts (such as Rockwool Safe'n'Sound) inside a steel stud wall typically increases the Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating by 7 to 10 points, reducing airborne speech transmission by up to 50% compared to an uninsulated cavity.

Is mineral wool insulation fire-resistant?

Yes. Mineral wool is made from basalt rock and slag and resists temperatures exceeding 1,177°C (2,150°F). It will not burn, produce toxic smoke, or contribute to flame spread, making it ideal for fire-rated commercial assemblies.

Can insulation be added above an existing T-bar ceiling?

Yes. We install lay-in fiberglass or mineral wool acoustic overlay batts directly on top of suspended T-bar ceiling tiles to reduce plenum sound flanking between private offices.
