Foil-faced Rock Fibre Ductwrap | QFFDW
Description
Description
QFFDW Rockwool Foil-faced Rock Fibre Insulation is a lightweight, flexible roll with a density of 45kg/m³ and a durable aluminium foil outer. It improves insulation performance, particularly in applications requiring an EI fire rating for services with high metallic content, such as cables or metal pipework.
In addition to its fire-resistant properties, it provides thermal insulation and sound absorption. Furthermore, ductwrap does not easily react with other chemicals, which ensures long-term performance and compatibility.
Standards & Approvals
Standards & Approvals
Foil-faced Rock Fibre Insulation is usually wrapped around the services butting up to the fire seal (locally interrupted), as shown on Quelfire Standard Installation Details. Ends and overlaps can be sealed with Self-adhesive Foil Tape (FOILTAPE), and 1.6mm gauge Galvanised Steel Wire (STEELWIRE) should be used to secure it around the services.

*Please note that custom made items can expect to have longer lead times. Next working day is typical but can depend on outside factors not controlled by Quelfire.
