2. Thickness and Size PVC laminated gypsum boards come in various thicknesses and sizes. Thicker boards generally offer better sound insulation and durability, thus commanding a higher price. Similarly, larger panels reduce installation time and labor costs but may come at a premium.
Mineral wool, often referred to as rock wool or stone wool, is an insulation material made from basalt rock, recycled steel slag, or other natural minerals. The manufacturing process involves melting these materials and then spinning them into fine fibers. These fibers are then compressed and formed into rigid boards or batts, which are used for insulation in walls, roofs, and floors.
