About Rockwool stone wool insulation
Rockwool is a manufacturer of stone wool insulation products used across residential, commercial and industrial construction. Stone wool insulation is produced from mineral fibres created from natural rock materials. This structure forms an insulation material designed to provide thermal, acoustic and fire performance within building envelopes.
Insulation products are typically installed within wall cavities, roof structures or floor constructions where they contribute to energy efficiency and environmental performance of the building.
Typical applications
Rockwool insulation products are commonly used in a variety of building applications including:
- cavity wall insulation
- internal wall insulation systems
- floor and ceiling insulation
- acoustic separation between rooms
- fire-resistant insulation within wall structures
These insulation products are used across both new construction and refurbishment projects where improved thermal or acoustic performance is required.
Technical considerations
When selecting insulation materials, several factors are commonly considered within the building design:
- thermal conductivity
- density of the insulation material
- fire resistance characteristics
- acoustic performance
- compatibility with the wall or roof construction
| Insulation characteristic | Description | Role within the building |
|---|---|---|
| Thermal performance | Reduces heat transfer through building elements | Energy efficiency |
| Acoustic performance | Absorbs sound within wall or floor systems | Noise reduction |
| Fire resistance | Stone wool is non-combustible | Improved fire safety |
Rockwool products we supply
The Rockwool products we supply include insulation products designed for use within wall constructions and other building elements. These materials are typically installed during the construction of the building envelope where insulation forms part of the wall build-up.
Rockwool insulation is often used alongside masonry materials such as bricks and blocks as well as other components used within external wall construction.
