Rockwool insulation is commonly used for a wide range of applications, including residential and commercial buildings. It's particularly effective in areas where thermal and acoustic performance are crucial, such as roofs, walls, floors, and ceilings. Rockwool's ability to absorb sound waves and its fire-resistant properties make it a good choice for soundproofing, noise reduction, and fire protection in various building types.
Here's a more detailed breakdown of Rockwool insulation uses:
Thermal Insulation:
- Roof Insulation:ROCKWOOL is used to increase the energy efficiency of buildings by reducing heat loss.
- Wall Insulation (Internal & External):Rockwool helps to maintain a stable indoor temperature and reduce heating needs, leading to greater comfort and energy savings.
- Floor Insulation:Improves thermal and acoustic performance, particularly in multi-story buildings.
- Ceiling Insulation:Retains heat and absorbs sound between floors.
Acoustic Insulation:
- Walls, Ceilings, and Floors: Rockwool's dense, fibrous structure absorbs sound waves, reducing noise transmission between rooms and from external sources.
- Soundproofed Media Rooms/Studios: Ideal for rooms where sound isolation is critical.
Fire Resistance:
- Walls and Ceilings: Rockwool's non-combustible nature provides a high level of fire protection in buildings.
Other Applications:
- Attic, Wall Cavity, and Ceiling Cavity Insulation:Rockwool blown insulation is a popular choice for attic, wall cavity, and ceiling cavity applications.
- Under Load, Roof Boards, and Floating Floors:Rockwool slabs can be used in these applications for insulation and support.
- OEM Insulation Products:ROCKWOOL supplies a variety of insulation products for various building systems and applications, increasing energy efficiency and fire protection.
