  3. Aesthetics



A building's aesthetics appeal need not compromise its performance

When people live and work in aesthetic spaces, they feel comfortable and motivated. Environments in which people enjoy spending time can improve social cohesion and make neighbourhoods safer and healthier. In order to create inspirational buildings, architects need flexible and aesthetically versatile materials that can make beautiful spaces a reality for people everywhere. With a combination of aesthetics and high product performance,

ROCKWOOL can help create these harmonious spaces that also protect and promote fire safety, acoustic and thermal performance, along with durability and circularity. We have harnessed the natural beauty and adaptability of stone to make it easy for architects to design and customise in an almost unlimited range of colours, shapes, and forms.

Did you know?

Over 25 years, construction accounts for just 5.5 percent of the cost of a building. The cost of occupancy, which includes energy bills, makes up 86 percent. Small investments in design and materials can make a big impact on the cost of occupancy.
