R1.25 Thermal Resistance

The 50mm Knauf Ceiling Roll provides R1.25 thermal resistance, helping reduce heat transfer through residential ceilings. Its thinner profile makes it suitable for selected insulation upgrades and top-ups where the completed installation meets the required thermal performance. The glass mineral wool also helps absorb sound.

Where to Use 50mm Knauf Ceiling Roll

The 50mm Knauf Ceiling Roll provides R1.25 thermal resistance and is suitable for selected residential ceiling insulation applications where a thinner glass mineral wool layer is appropriate. It can be used for ceiling insulation top-ups and upgrades where installation conditions allow. As 50mm insulation provides less thermal resistance than thicker rolls, the completed insulation system must be assessed against the required thermal performance.

  • Ceiling insulation top-ups where suitable
  • Roof spaces with limited available depth
  • Existing ceilings with suitable access
  • Additional insulation above bedrooms and living areas
  • Layered ceiling insulation upgrades when correctly specified
