Think beyond R-values and get more from your roof insulation.
Discover the 3 reasons to look beyond the R-valueA stable R-value is important when evaluating assembly options for your roof. But there are other factors that contribute to the longevity of your roof system. Stone wool roof insulation products offer a comprehensive thermal, acoustic, fire-safe and robust solution. By harnessing the power of stone, you can meet the performance, safety and environmental challenges today’s building owners face.
A fire is not only dangerous, it can result in damage, loss of business revenues and even increased premiums. ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation is an ignition-resistant, non-combustible insulation that produces zero flame and zero smoke. This increased fire resistance can reduce the risk of a fire.
The non-directional fiber structure of stone wool roofing insulation boards is specifically designed to reduce sound transfer. These boards can reduce up to 40% of unwanted, outside noise – creating more comfort for building occupants.
ROCKWOOL insulating roof boards offer warrantied long-term thermal performance. From install to reroof, no matter the climate zone, ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation’s unique physical structure keeps its shape and toughness despite changes in temperature and humidity.
Other insulations shrink up to 2% over time, leading to permanent gaps that will impact the long-term performance of the roof system. ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation retains dimensional stability in all climates.
ROCKWOOL MULTIFIX™ is the first stone wool insulation product with a built-in coverboard and a mineral-coated fiberglass facer that is compatible with multiple attachment methods. It can be used as a roof insulation or insulating coverboard over other insulations. ROCKWOOL MULTIFIX™ reduces the number of layers required while improving the performance of your entire assembly.
ROCKWOOL has pioneered innovative Dual Density technology through a specialized manufacturing process. Comprising a high-density outer layer and a lower-density sub-layer, Dual Density products such as ROCKWOOL TOPROCK® DD provide compressive resistance, excellent sound absorbency and many other benefits for different applications.
