Blow-in & spray-on application

Mineral fibre insulation – two methods, one key advantage: fire protection

Loose mineral fibre is the only blow-in insulation material in our range that is classified as non-combustible (fire class A1). It is suitable for both machine-applied blow-in insulation in enclosed cavities and open spray-on insulation on attic floors and storey ceilings – making it exceptionally versatile.

The key differentiator

Non-combustible – fire class A1

Mineral fibre is the only loose blow-in insulation material to achieve the highest fire protection classification. This makes it the first choice for constructions with fire protection requirements – for example in multi-storey timber construction, commercial buildings or wherever planning permissions require non-combustible materials.

A1

Fire class A1

The highest classification – non-combustible. No other loose insulation material achieves this class.

1000°

Melting point > 1,000 °C

Mineral fibres only melt above 1,000 °C – maximum safety reserve in the event of fire.

No restrictions

Usable without the fire protection conditions that may apply to combustible insulation materials.

Important note: Cellulose and wood fibre are flame-retardant (class B2) but not non-combustible. If your planning permission or construction requires non-combustible insulation, mineral fibre is the only option among loose blow-in insulation materials.

Frequently asked questions

Frequently asked questions about mineral fibre blow-in insulation

What does fire class A1 mean for mineral fibre?

Fire class A1 means non-combustible – the highest classification under DIN 4102. Mineral fibres only melt above 1,000 °C and do not ignite. This makes them the mandatory choice wherever planning permissions or construction details require non-combustible insulation materials.

What is the difference between blow-in and spray-on insulation?

With blow-in insulation, mineral fibre is blown by machine into enclosed cavities. With spray-on insulation, the material is applied openly onto accessible surfaces such as attic floors and storey ceilings. Mineral fibre is one of the few insulation materials that supports both methods.

When is mineral fibre the better choice over cellulose?

Mineral fibre is the right choice when fire protection requirements stipulate non-combustible materials – for example in multi-storey timber construction, commercial buildings or specific construction details. For ecological projects without special fire protection requirements, cellulose or wood fibre are often the better choice.

Which components is loose mineral fibre suitable for?

Loose mineral fibre is suitable for roof slopes, timber-frame walls, timber joist ceilings, storey ceilings and attic floors – both as blow-in insulation in enclosed cavities and as spray-on insulation on open surfaces.

Can I apply mineral fibre myself?

A blowing machine is required for machine-applied blow-in and spray-on insulation. As a specialist contractor, we are happy to carry out the complete installation. Please ask us about options for simple open spray-on insulation on attic floors.

Does mineral fibre also provide acoustic insulation?

Yes. Mineral fibre provides good acoustic insulation and effectively reduces sound transmission between floors and rooms – a further advantage over many other insulation materials.
