Knauf Earthwool R2.0 HD Wall Insulation Batts
Product Overview:
Knauf Earthwool R2.0 HD Wall Insulation Batts are designed for wall applications where both thermal resistance and improved acoustic performance are required. Manufactured from glasswool, these higher-density wall batts provide an R2.0 thermal rating while helping reduce sound transfer through suitable internal wall systems. At approximately 75mm thick, the R2.0 HD option can be useful where a higher-density insulation batt is required within a relatively narrow wall cavity. When selecting insulation, check the required R-value, wall cavity depth, stud spacing, batt dimensions and pack coverage before ordering.

Thermal and Acoustic Performance
Knauf Earthwool R2.0 HD insulation combines an R2.0 thermal rating with a higher-density construction intended for applications where acoustic performance is also important. The insulation helps reduce heat transfer through wall cavities while also helping reduce sound transmission between adjoining spaces when incorporated into an appropriate wall system. Acoustic performance depends on the complete wall construction, including the insulation, plasterboard, framing, penetrations and installation quality. For this reason, the performance of the complete wall system should be considered rather than relying on the insulation batt alone.
ECOSE Technology
Knauf Earthwool insulation is manufactured using ECOSE Technology, Knauf Insulation’s binder technology used across its Earthwool glasswool products. The batts are designed to be relatively soft and easy to handle compared with traditional glasswool products. For current information about product composition, recycled content, certifications and environmental credentials, refer to the manufacturer’s technical documentation supplied for the product.

Knauf Earthwool Sound Shield Insulation Product Range:
- R2.0 HD: Earthwool Sound Shield Wall Insulation Batts, 75mm thick – effective for walls needing moderate soundproofing.
- R2.5 HD: Earthwool Sound Shield Wall Insulation Batts, 90mm thick – excellent for enhanced acoustic and thermal performance.
- R2.7 SHD: Earthwool Sound Shield Wall Insulation Batts, 90mm thick – ideal for high-density sound absorption needs.
- R4.0 HD: Earthwool Sound Shield Wall Insulation Batts, 140mm thick – optimal for maximum soundproofing and thermal efficiency between floors.
Application Areas:
- Interior Walls: Ideal for enhancing thermal efficiency in residential and commercial buildings.
- Bedrooms and living areas — Can help reduce sound transfer between adjoining rooms when installed as part of an appropriate wall system.
- Home offices and media rooms — Higher-density insulation can be useful where additional acoustic control is required.
- Residential and selected commercial applications — Suitable where the product specifications meet the requirements of the wall system and project.
Guides and Certifications:
Before ordering, check whether your project requires standard R2.0 thermal wall insulation or a higher-density acoustic product such as Earthwool R2.0 HD. Consider the wall cavity depth, stud spacing, required R-value, acoustic requirements and total area requiring insulation. For projects where acoustic performance is not a priority, standard thermal wall batts may provide a more suitable option. If additional sound control is required, compare the density, thickness and specifications of the available acoustic products before selecting your insulation.
