Boost your below-grade builds with ROCKWOOL Comfortboard® for better protection and performance

Below-grade construction presents deep challenges. ROCKWOOL Comfortboard® offers superior insulation, tackling moisture, soil pressure, and temperature fluctuations. It's ideal for basement walls and slab-on-grade assemblies. With high dimensional stability and compressive strength, Comfortboard® withstands soil pressure while reducing heat transfer, ensuring dry, comfortable and energy-efficient spaces.

Crafted from reusable resources, Comfortboard® retains properties through recycling, supporting sustainability. Its versatility extends to rainscreen insulation and sloped roofing. By choosing Comfortboard, you're investing in durability, energy efficiency, and environmental responsibility. For builders demanding uncompromising performance, Comfortboard® delivers on all fronts.  

  • Below-grade ready: Engineered for walls and slabs in contact with or below ground level, providing thermal insulation and durability for basement walls and slab-on-grade assemblies
  • Structurally versatile: Available as Comfortboard 80 or 110, offering varied compressive strengths to suit diverse structural demands in applications ranging from below-grade to rainscreen  assemblies and sloped roofing
  • Long-lasting: Excellent dimensional stability and offered in two variants (Comfortboard 80 and 110) for specific structural needs
  • Strong material: Compressive strength to stand up to soil pressure and structural loads
  • Thermally efficient: Reduces heat transfer and minimizes energy loss, enhancing comfort indoors while cutting energy costs
  • Sustainable: Crafted from natural, reusable resources that retain their properties through repeated recycling
Comfortboard is an excellent choice for under-slab insulation. Its thermal properties create a highly effective barrier in your building envelope. I've seen firsthand how its density resists compression, ensuring long-term performance. It's also easy to install under concrete slabs, and as a bonus, it's termite resistant. For high-performing buildings in Illinois, this stone wool insulation ticks all the boxes.
