Harness the benefits of rockwool insulation
Strong thermal insulation
Thanks to its excellent thermal properties, Rockwool helps keep your building comfortable all year round with greater energy efficiency – and a lower utility bill.
Remarkable fire resistance
This non-combustible insulation can withstand temperatures above 1,000°C. Acting as a barrier that blocks a blaze from spreading, it offers superior safety.
Sound absorption
With its dense fibrous structure, rockwool reduces noise transfer, absorbing sounds from outside and between different rooms and floors.
Moisture damage protection
Rockwool insulation is water-repellent yet breathable, preventing mould and moisture accumulation for a healthy indoor space.
Exceptional durability
Enjoy thermal and acoustic insulation for many years to come. Rockwool provides lasting performance without settling, sagging, or deteriorating over time.
Rockwool vs. glasswool insulation
While both rockwool and glasswool are effective insulation materials, they have some core differences.
- Material composition: Rockwool is made from basalt rock and recycled slag, whereas glasswool is fabricated from recycled glass materials and sand.
- Fire resistance: Rockwool’s higher melting point gives it superior fire resistance compared to glasswool.
- Sound insulation: Rockwool generally provides better sound insulation due to its denser structure.
- Durability: Rockwool is more durable and less prone to sagging over time.
