Wall Insulation
Rockwool wall insulation is a type of insulation that is made from stone wool, which is a natural material derived from volcanic rock.
Rockwool wall insulation has many benefits for thermal, acoustic, and fire performance in buildings.
Some of the advantages of Rockwool wall insulation are:
- It has a low thermal conductivity, which means it can reduce heat loss or gain in buildings and save energy costs
- It has a high fire resistance, which means it can withstand temperatures up to 1000°C and prevent the spread of fire and smoke
- It has a high sound absorption, which means it can reduce noise transmission and improve the acoustic comfort in buildings
- It has a high moisture resistance, which means it can prevent the growth of mould and bacteria and maintain its shape and performance
- It has a long lifespan, which means it can last for decades without deteriorating or losing its effectiveness
Rockwool wall insulation comes in different forms, such as rolls, batts, boards, and granulates. It can be used for various applications, such as lofts, walls, floors, roofs, pipes, and ducts. Rockwool wall insulation is easy to install and can be cut to fit any shape and size
