The difference between regular insulation and safe and sound.

The main difference between Roxul Safe’n’Sound (often just called Safe and Sound) and regular insulation (like R12 or R14 batt insulation) comes down to purpose: Safe’n’Sound InsulationMaterial: Made from stone wool (rock/mineral wool).Primary Use: Designed for soundproofing and fire resistance, not thermal insulation.R-Value: Very low (almost no thermal insulating value compared to fiberglass).Benefits:Excellent at absorbing sound between rooms or floors.Non-combustible (withstands high heat, adds fire protection).Dense, so it helps reduce noise from TVs, footsteps, plumbing, etc.Regular Insulation (Fiberglass or Stone Wool R12, R14, R22, etc.)Material: Fiberglass or mineral wool.Primary Use: Designed for thermal insulation – keeps heat in during winter and out during summer.R-Value: Rated for thermal resistance (R12, R14, etc.).Benefits:Improves energy efficiency.Helps maintain
