Product Evidence
Generic material record — no manufacturer product attached.
Evidence Base
Category estimateNo product evidence is attached to this generic material, so nothing on this card is numerical. The guidance below is qualitative — an AI-assisted category profile — for early design discussion, not for figures.
No product EPD is held for this generic entry. Mineral wool declarations are issued per manufacturer and per density, so a figure belongs to a specific branded product rather than to the material.
Next step: request a current product EPD or manufacturer carbon declaration, or swap in a branded product that holds one.
What's missing (3)
- •No current product EPD is recorded.
- •No quantified carbon result is recorded.
- •No product-specific circularity or material-health claims are recorded.

Design & Specification Notes
Stone wool insulation batts.
Typical Uses
- •Thermal envelope
- •Roof/wall cavities
- •Airtightness layers
Key Performance
Good thermal resistance with reduced heat loss.
Specification Actions
- •Provide an EPD (EN 15804) or verified embodied carbon figure (A1–A3), and state the life-cycle stages covered.
- •Verify formaldehyde-free binder
- •Confirm density and lambda value for application
Indicative Health & Indoor Air
- •fibres
- •formaldehyde
Fibres can cause irritation during installation—use PPE. Verify formaldehyde-free binder. Once installed and covered, low emissions.
