Durability meets performance in stone wool insulation

An alternative to glass wool, stone mineral wool can help improve acoustic and thermal performance as part of an insulation system. It combines mechanical resistance with thermal qualities and high temperature suitability – making it a reliable, durable solution for any insulation challenge, particularly in industrial settings.

Available in a range of thicknesses tailored for individual applications, Isover stone wool can help to raise comfort levels – and lower costs in the long term. Let’s look at some of the ways it does this:

Fire protection

As a non-combustible material with the capacity to resist high temperatures, some of Isover stone mineral wool products can provide passive fire protection.

Acoustic performance

The non-continuous structure of the fibres that make up mineral wool impede the passage of sound. This can be used in systems to reduce airborne sound transmission and improve acoustic insulation when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s system installation guidance. For our system information, please refer to the British Gypsum White Book specification selector.

Thermal insulation

The small pockets within the mineral wool structure trap air, which is a poor conductor of heat, and significantly reduces heat transfer, making mineral wool an effective thermal insulator. Used as part a system to provide thermal insulation, mineral wool can help to improve thermal efficiency and reduce overall energy costs.
