Roxul® Insulation Acts As A Fire Barrier Giving More Time To Exit A Burning Building
  Minutes can mean the difference between life or death when an unexpected fire starts in your home. Under its roof reside your family and your most important belongings. That’s why you can’t trust your home with just any insulation. Roxul, North America’s leading manufacturer of stone wool insulation products, offers better insulation for both interior and exterior walls. Roxul stone wool insulation is not only moisture resistant and offers superior thermal insulation, but it is fire-resistant. Roxul stone wool resists temperatures up to approximately 1177° C (2150°F). It can act as a fire barrier giving you and your family time to escape. Roxul products can help delay the spread of fire from room to room providing valuable extra minutes to save people and property and reduce environmental damage. Time is vital for fire fighters. Building or renovating with fire resistant materials like Roxul insulation, help provide you with more time to escape, more time for fire fighters to respond, and reduce damage. This is especially true for multi-family dwellings when even more is at stake.
