The benefits of using mineral wool

Mineral wool offers unparalleled ‘4-benefits-in-one’ products that meet ever more testing demands in terms of thermal, fire and acoustic requirements and environmental performance, both during use and when its whole-life impact on the environment is assessed.

Thermal insulation

Mineral wool provides excellent thermal insulation, which helps to restrict heat transfer through building envelopes, reducing the demand for space heating and cooling energy.

Environmental sustainability

Mineral wool insulation saves energy in use and reduces the need for combustion of fossil fuelsto provide energy for the heating or cooling of buildings.

Acoustic protection

Mineral wool absorbs sound energy, which means that it is able to improve the acoustic performance of walls, floors and roofs.

Fire protection

Mineral wool is non-combustible, so provides in-built fire protection and effectively contributes to the fire safety of buildings.
