ROCKWOOL strengthens commitment to leadership in fire safety with new product range

Renowned for its Euroclass A1 non-combustible stone wool insulation, the company has used its deep fire expertise and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility to develop a new in-house fire-stopping range including coated batt, sealants, collars and wraps.

Industry-leading standards

In line with the company’s commitment to industry-leading practice, the new FirePro range has been tested and classified to the most recent fire resistance standards (including BS EN 1366-4, BS EN 1366-3 and BS EN 13501-2) that will become mandatory in 2029, ensuring the range is ready a full four years early and helping customers to get ahead and future-proof their specifications. For added assurance, FirePro’s testing has also been third party audited and certified for safety, reliability, and regulatory compliance by independent certification body UL-Solutions.

By developing the range in-house and managing the product line from conception to delivery, ROCKWOOL is also perfectly positioned to pursue ongoing innovation and drive industry-leading performance and sustainability.

Specialist support for customers

The first products in the new FirePro range will be available to order from 2^nd October 2025, with the company’s specialist fire and specification teams on hand to assist customers with bespoke technical and project support.

“Customers need access to expert resources to specify with confidence,” says ROCKWOOL Ltd’s Head of Fire Protection & HVAC, Matt Jones.

“That’s why we’ve launched the FirePro range with our specialist teams on hand as well as a robust package of technical literature. This includes a new interactive Fire-stopping Standard Details Guide that provides easy access to safety-critical standard details to support specification and installation.”

New Training Academy coming soon

To further support industry partners as they adapt to changes driven by the Building Safety Act, ROCKWOOL plans to open a specialist training academy at the Hams Hall site this winter.

Providing clients with the opportunity to experience product demonstrations and learn best practice installation techniques for ROCKWOOL’s fire-stopping, HVAC and fire protection products, the company expects to welcome a range of visitors from installation contractors and specifiers, to fire service personnel who are working to assess and safeguard public safety.

The academy will complement ROCKWOOL’s existing e-Learning platform and furthers the company’s work to support skills and competence in the built environment. More details will be available shortly to those seeking to book a training session at the new Midlands facility.
