A Better Insulation

ROXUL insulation is an amazing product. I've used it for several projects and on a recent visit to the building center, they had a demonstration where for hours a piece of ROXUL was exposed directly to the flame from a torch. No sign of burning of the insulation and I could place my hand behind the piece of insulation and although warm, was touchable. I had heard of it's fireproof properties but this was a revelation!

In addition to being fireproof, it's a great sound absorber, won't mold and can be dried if exposed to water.
