Most builders know how to insulate walls and roofs; however, little attention is given below the slab and foundation walls. ROCKWOOL insulation is designed for sub-slab and exterior foundation wall applications since water does not affect its composition.
ROCKWOOL and Huber had a great section demonstrating the perfect wall assembly with the insulation and air sealing towards the outside of the house.
ROCKWOOL has many product lines and they all have different purposes. I had a sample of Safe-N-Sound and Comfortboard in my shop so I created a short video showing some of the differences.
As energy codes demand that we make buildings more energy-efficient, we have to find new and innovative ways to make this a reality. One way that builders are able to help maintain a comfortable and healthy indoor environment is with better insulation and air sealing.

Our basement gets a ton of use. I make videos at my home office, and my son has set up a recording studio, so sound needs to be managed. Sounds from upstairs are coming in the basement, and the saxophone, drums, and keyboard can be heard throughout the house as well. I plan to use a combination of ROCKWOOL and Homasote plus a few sealants to create an environment where sound is better managed.
We interviewed @homasotecompany5059 at the international builders show this year, and they shared some wall and ceiling details with us.

In order to create a NET ZERO ENERGY home, we must continue to refine insulation and air sealing techniques. Dan Edelman of ROCKWOOL Insulation hosted Chris Laumer-Giddens of LG Squared, Inc in a webinar where he covers advanced building science topics such as the “Perfect Wall” and Hygrothermics with examples and details for all of the concepts discussed.
