How to Choose Rockwool Density and Thickness
Select stone wool for partitions, ceilings, roofs, façades and equipment using density, thickness, fire and acoustic data.
Select stone wool for partitions, ceilings, roofs, façades and equipment using density, thickness, fire and acoustic data.
Match product to application
Partition infill, roof boards and façade insulation require different compressive and handling properties.
Avoid density-only selection
Thickness, airflow resistance, facing and tested assembly performance matter as much as density.
Check fire documentation
Use tested systems and correct fixings, barriers and joints for fire-rated construction.
Protect installation quality
Gaps, compression and missing pieces reduce thermal and acoustic performance.
