Scroll down to learn more about the many strengths of our stone wool products and how they can enrich modern living.

Our choice of building materials matters

If we think about what we value most in life, the “built environment” probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind.  

And yet, our homes, schools, healthcare facilities, offices and other buildings have incredible importance and impact on our daily lives.  

They are also among the sources of some of the world’s most pressing challenges, including climate change, energy security, raw material consumption and waste, environmental pollution and negative health impacts.  

We believe helping solve these challenges with better building materials and products and smarter building practices is an opportunity and responsibility for our company and the construction industry.  

What makes stone wool a worthy choice, in our opinion? Let us show you.

Thermal properties

ROCKWOOL stone wool gets its insulating performance from the tiny pockets of air trapped among the stone wool fibres, which prevent heat transfer, helping buildings stay warm when it’s cold outside and cool when it’s hot outside.

Fire Resilience

ROCKWOOL insulation is extremely resilient to fire. It works to contain fire and prevent its spread. At the same time, it does not contribute to the emission of significant quantities of toxic smoke.
