1 Innovative solutions for stone wool cored sandwich panels

2 For several decades, sandwich panels with stone wool cores have been used successfully in fast track construction, conferring numerous benefits compared to panels with other cores or built on site systems. ADVANTAGES OF ROCKWOOL CORE SOLUTIONS SANDWICH PANELS Stone wool cores provide non combustibility and outstanding acoustic performance 25 years of experience with robust mechanical performance Fast installation and ease of handling Easy assembly utilising lifting equipment often no scaffolding needed Free from thermal bridging benefiting from high thermal insulation Wide range of surfaces design and color finishes for walls and roofs Stone wool sandwich panels can be installed horizontally and vertically APPLICATIONS Stone wool sandwich panels cover many applications in steel building construction such as: external walls, roofs, ceiling panels, fire rated and acoustic sandwich panels for commercial and industrial buildings, clean rooms, food processing, cold storage facilities, prefabricated cabins, containers, leisure buildings, hospitals, schools, Commercial BuildingS FOOD PROCESSING sports centres

5 ROCKWOOL - MORE THAN JUST STONE WOOL recycled content constitutes on average 28% of our raw materials. More fire protection: non-combustible ROCKWOOL insulation never fuels or spreads a fire. However if there is a fire, it can act as a fire barrier and does not emit dangerous amount of smoke or toxic gases. More thermal insulation: ROCKWOOL stone wool provides effective protection against both cold and heat. Its insulation properties are due to natural entrapped air and therefore it does not emit noxious gases or blowing agents like HCFC, pentane, CO 2. More acoustic protection: ROCKWOOL stone wool has a natural open cell structure making it ideal for absorbing, containing and regulating noise. More sustainability ROCKWOOL stone wool is one of the most environmentally robust insulation materials in the world. In its lifetime a typical ROCKWOOL insulation product saves more than 100 times the energy invested in its manufacture, transport and disposal. Its properties remain constant during the whole life cycle. This long term performance is a key environmental characteristic, plus there is no need to upgrade the insulation after a period of time. ROCKWOOL stone wool is based on a renewable and plentiful natural resource and is not considered harmful to humans.
