Research & Development

R&D at ROCKWOOL

As the leading stone wool insulation manufacturer, we recognize that insulation is only a single component of the overall enclosure design. Understanding the in-situ performance of building materials as a full system is critical to design durable and energy efficient buildings. Concurrently, understanding the fundamentals of material behavior can be used to push innovation to the forefront.

At ROCKWOOL, we aim to provide state of the art, evidence-based knowledge and guidance when it comes to building enclosure design. Working with leaders in the building research industry, reputable third-party laboratories, as well as colleges and universities in both Canada and the United States, ROCKWOOL has conducted multiple research studies that will assist in understanding the challenges of building enclosure design.
