Fiberglass is inherently fire-resistant to some extent due to its composition, which includes glass fibers that do not burn. However, it is not completely fireproof; it can melt or degrade at high temperatures. Fire-resistant coatings can enhance its fire performance, but the overall fire resistance can vary depending on the specific type and formulation of the fiberglass used. Always refer to manufacturer specifications for detailed fire resistance ratings.

What are the differences between rockwool and fiberglass sound insulation materials?

Rockwool and fiberglass are both sound insulation materials, but they have some differences. Rockwool is made from volcanic rock and is denser than fiberglass, providing better sound absorption. Fiberglass is made from glass fibers and is lighter and more flexible, making it easier to install. Rockwool is more fire-resistant than fiberglass and can withstand higher temperatures. Fiberglass is generally cheaper than rockwool but may not be as effective in blocking sound.

A lot of fireplace rugs are made of wool or microfiber, which can withstand the heat of being near a fire.

I'll share a link to an example fire proof rug.
