Installation Guide
1. Preparation
Ensure the wall cavity is clean and free from debris. Check that all electrical wiring and pipework are properly positioned and protected. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment including gloves, safety goggles, and a face mask to prevent irritation from glass fibers.
2. Measuring and Cutting
Measure the cavity dimensions and cut the Superglass Party Wall Roll to size using a sharp knife or insulation saw. For best results, cut the insulation slightly larger than the cavity size to ensure a snug fit that prevents gaps which could compromise acoustic performance.
3. Installation
Press the insulation firmly between the studs or joists. For party walls, ensure the insulation fills the cavity completely without gaps. If working in a cavity wall, attach retainers to hold the insulation in place. Pay special attention to corners and around service penetrations.
4. Finishing
Once installed, check for any gaps or voids and fill them with additional insulation material. For party walls, install plasterboard or other wall finishes as required by your building project specifications. Ensure all joints are properly sealed to maintain acoustic performance.
Applications
Superglass Party Wall Roll is suitable for a wide range of applications in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings:
- Separating walls between semi-detached and terraced houses
- Party walls between flats and apartments
- Internal partitions requiring sound insulation
- External walls where both thermal and acoustic performance is needed
- Suspended floors where impact sound reduction is required
- Refurbishment projects to upgrade existing sound insulation
Environmental Responsibility
Superglass is committed to sustainable manufacturing processes and environmental protection. The Party Wall Roll is produced using increasingly high percentages of recycled glass, diverting millions of glass bottles and jars from landfill each year. The production process itself is designed to minimize energy consumption and emissions.
The product is fully recyclable at the end of its service life, contributing to a circular economy approach to construction materials. Superglass Party Wall Roll contains no ozone-depleting substances and is not classified as hazardous waste. It can help buildings achieve higher ratings in environmental assessment schemes such as BREEAM and Code for Sustainable Homes.

Superglass Party Wall Roll is manufactured to the highest standards and complies with relevant Building Regulations:
- Approved Document E (Resistance to the Passage of Sound) of the Building Regulations
- BS EN 13162: Thermal insulation products for buildings
- BS 5250: Control of condensation in buildings
- BS 476: Fire tests on building materials and structures
When installed according to our guidelines, Superglass Party Wall Roll helps achieve the sound performance levels required by Building Regulations Part E, which specifies minimum standards for airborne sound insulation for walls between dwellings.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can Superglass Party Wall Roll be used in wet areas?
A: While the product itself is water-resistant and will not permanently lose thermal performance if wet, it is not recommended for use in continuously wet environments without appropriate vapor barriers and protection.
Q: Is Superglass Party Wall Roll safe to handle during installation?
A: Like all mineral wool products, Superglass Party Wall Roll can cause temporary skin irritation. We recommend wearing appropriate PPE including gloves, long sleeves, safety glasses, and a dust mask during installation.
Q: Does this product require a vapor barrier?
A: In most standard wall applications, a vapor barrier may be required depending on the building design and usage. Consult with your architect or building control officer to determine the specific requirements for your project.
