Discover the applications, benefits and all the timber frame wall insulation details you need on this page.
Timber frame construction is an efficient and flexible build method. Compared to traditional masonry, it can accommodate more timber frame insulation in between the wooden studs.
Additional room is given for electrical wiring. This helps create safe, efficient and positive living and working environments.

Timber frames filled with insulation generally offer better thermal performance than masonry walls of the same total thickness.1 However, their reduced mass and wood properties mean they need the right material to provide strong fire protection and acoustic performance. ROCKWOOL timber frame wall insulation delivers excellent fire resilience and soundproofing capabilities, alongside its thermal resistance qualities.2
Timber frame house insulation is well suited for use in timber frame buildings with its quick and easy fitting and dimensional stability.
Benefits of ROCKWOOL products include:
The amount of insulation required will depend on the size and dimensions of the timber frame construction. With thermal requirements mostly determining the insulation thickness required.
ROCKWOOL timber frame insulation delivers wider value than just thermal performance. The stone wool insulation is highly fire resistant – an ideal property when insulating around flammable wood. It also offers excellent sound absorption, reducing the impact of noise pollution in and outside of a property.3
The range of products include timber frame slabs and rolls to suit different frame dimensions and designs as well as the varying performance requirements. Each product is flexible for varying dimensions.
Various features make ROCKWOOL products ideal insulation for timber frame construction. Using the seven strengths of stone they are:
See how ROCKWOOL release the natural power of stone to enrich modern living.
Installing timber frame wall insulation during construction or as prefabricated elements is the common method. It can sometimes also be retrofitted to existing properties.
Key tips:
Timber frames are a more environmentally friendly construction material than others due to their sustainability. ROCKWOOL products are also designed with circularity and a low environmental impact at their heart.
Made from highly sustainable stone wool, ROCKWOOL insulation aims to vastly improve the energy efficiency of every building where it is applied. It can be used to meet the Passive House standards4 – creating energy-efficient buildings that promote indoor comfort and acoustic insulation.
Our timber frame wall insulation enhances thermal performance and lowers energy consumption.
