Mineral wool is an insulating material made from natural stone powder. It helps reduce heat in walls directly exposed to sunlight, thereby lowering temperatures and contributing to energy savings.
The term "mineral wool" refers to insulation made from various minerals, including stone and silica, which are highly resistant to heat. The raw materials are heated to high temperatures and then melted and spun into fibers. These fibers are formed into finished insulation products, such as slabs, rolls, pipe sections, and loose wool or granulate.
Two common types of mineral wool are stone wool, derived from volcanic rock, and glass wool, which is made from silica or recycled glass cullet. Glass wool is also known as glass fiber.
ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation is produced from abundant deposits of naturally occurring basalt volcanic rock and recycled and upcycled materials. Though ROCKWOOL is our brand name, it is sometimes used interchangeably with rock mineral wool or stone wool.
