It's Rockwool, so no problem with the PU reacting with the cable.

Most of the runs will either be single C-BUS runs to sensors/light switch.
There will be some small bundles (4 cables) going to corners of various
rooms for outlets, but all of the main cable runs will be in the ceiling
and
not covered with insulation.
