Partition walls that separate two rooms are usually constructed with a wooden or metal frame – also known as a stud wall.
Stud wall insulation is used to fill the space within these frames to significantly improve the sound and fire-resistant qualities of any residential or commercial property.

Splitting one room into two – for example a large bedroom within the home, or when designing an office floor plan – is best achieved by building an insulated partition wall. Good quality insulation helps to improve acoustic performance and fire resistance within this space.
A soundproof stud wall will reduce the acoustic transfer between rooms, which is especially important in working environments. The partition insulation must also be highly fire resilient1 – especially with wooden stud walls that are at greater risk.
Stud walls are suitable for many buildings with the available space. They are quick to erect and easy to move when layouts change. You can apply various finishes and designs for high end properties – or use regularly available boards with a paint finish to complement a chosen colour scheme.
Benefits of ROCKWOOL stud wall insulation include2:
A stud wall is not designed to focus on financial savings. Instead, it is a room divider that brings additional comfort and safety through its acoustic and fire resistance properties.
Using ROCKWOOL partition insulation will save you time determining which product to use, as our range has good acoustic properties and is fire safe.
ROCKWOOL stud wall insulation helps improve a property’s acoustic and fire resilience to create a safer, quieter and more comfortable living or working environment.
Using the power of stone wool, our insulation minimises sound transfer – which is a key parameter for partition walls.3
Depending on the requirements and local building standards, an array of different products are available, offering flexible options for a range of applications – whether adding to existing rooms during renovation, or new rooms during construction.
These include:
All these products are easily cut and placed in between frames with friction fit. They don’t sag or slump, avoiding gaps that lead to reduced performance or even unsafe situations.
There are two main types of stud wall that require insulation:
ROCKWOOL insulation draws on the seven strengths of stone, which makes it highly effective for stud walls4:
Key tips:
Higher density stud wall sound insulation enhances comfort and reduces noise pollution – a common challenge in modern developments.
ROCKWOOL products used between stud walls, made using natural materials, are highly sustainable. Stone wool is crafted from volcanic stone – and the earth produces more than 38,000 times the amount used yearly to produce the insulation.5
ROCKWOOL is non-combustible and has a melting point of over 1000℃. In an event of a fire, ROCKWOOL insulation can reduce spread of flames and provide precious time to save your family and your home.
