Demonstrate Fire Resistance of Installed Insulations
At 4:26 in
I Tested 7 Most Flammable Home Insulation
What happens here
Once all insulation types are installed, the wall frame is moved outdoors to a safe, wet grassy area for fire testing. The presenter prepares a torch and a fire extinguisher for safety. Each insulation section is then subjected to direct flame from a propane/MAP-Pro gas torch to observe its flammability and fire-resistant properties. The results clearly show that Rockwool insulation excels in fire resistance, charring slightly but not combusting, unlike most other materials which ignite or melt. This demonstrates Rockwool's suitability for fire-rated wall applications.
Goal: Test the fire resistance of each installed insulation type, highlighting Rockwool's performance.
