Sandwich Panels

Effective insulated sandwich panels require a robust, reliable and quality core material. Partnering with ROCKWOOL offers exactly that.

However, our specialists also become an extension of customers’ operations, working with sandwich panel manufacturers to innovate stone wool insulation solutions. This in turn provides enhanced fire protection, acoustic performance, thermal regulation and mechanical performance for constructions.

We consult directly with you, creating solutions that work best for your manufacturing process, whether that be lamellas or slabs. We also support sandwich panel manufacturers through the certification and testing phases.

In addition, our experts can share knowledge that will help you use our products to their maximum effectiveness.

Why do we need insulated sandwich panels?

Engineers, contractors, architects and building owners are under more pressure than ever to construct buildings that are energy efficient, safe and sustainable.

This, alongside an emphasis on speed of construction, can prove a significant challenge.

Sandwich panels which integrate our stone wool core material can play their part in improving insulation in the most important areas.

They’re suitable for insulating ceilings, interior and exterior walls (including partition walls and facades) and roofs – as well as for firewall applications. When installed, stone wool insulation harnesses the 7 Strengths of Stone2, offering:

  • Increased fire protection – stone wool core insulation integrates non-combustible properties to sandwich panels, delivering the highest  fire classification A1.
  • Acoustic capabilities – blocking unwanted noise from attached or neighbouring buildings4.
  • Thermal performance – temperatures are better regulated in buildings, thanks to the smart fibre structure of stone wool insulation5.
  • Bespoke solution – products are manufactured in advanced plants, ensuring a customised product for your sandwich panel process6.

Calculator and savings

We work closely with sandwich panel manufacturers throughout the product innovation process: from the initial preparation and testing stages, to the creation of the solutions themselves.

We also share our knowledge and expertise to help our partners understand the importance of stone wool insulation performance, and how it can bring value and savings to sandwich panel building projects.

Our direct work with sandwich panel manufacturers goes beyond mere supply. First, we provide stone wool insulation for the core of sandwich panels. Then, we provide services such as certification support, fire tests, packaging, innovation of new products, and can advise on boosting production line efficiencies too.

Once sandwich panels with a stone wool core have been installed, buildings and complexes can enjoy increased energy efficiency, thanks to improved thermal regulation.

By raising the energy efficiency with stone wool insulation, savings are then passed on to the building owner or operator.

During the preparation phase, our stone wool specialist will consult with you directly, sharing best practice tips and calculating the correct amount of stone wool needed for a project.
  • Knowledgeable – these solutions will then be tested and trialled, according to the latest standards and regulations. Our stone wool expert will attend and share local specialist product knowledge throughout.
  • Best practice – once the installation stage arrives, we provide expert advice when it is ultimately installed.
  • Bespoke – we take what we’ve learned about a particular project and your systems, then optimise our stone wool core insulation solutions to create a bespoke product tailored for your needs.

 

Plus, we offer just-in-time delivery, which ensures our solutions can fit in with your existing agile processes.

ROCKWOOL Core Solutions provide high-quality, customised stone wool cores for sandwich panels. Upon integration, these reinforced sandwich panels harness the 7 Strengths of Stone. Most importantly, they add fire protection to the building – safeguarding its integrity and contributing to its continuity.

Installation

Stone wool cores are integrated into sandwich panels via an offsite manufacturing process, conducted by the external sandwich panel manufacturers we work with.

This makes installation easier and quicker – speeding up the construction process.

Key tips:

  • We will work alongside sandwich panel manufacturers to determine the safest and most efficient way to integrate stone wool core solutions.
