Description
Founded as a family business more than 80 years ago, today ROCKWOOL Group is the world's leading manufacturer of stone wool. We produce products that are made from stone - one of the earth's most abundant natural resources.
In its manufactured state, stone wool delivers unique benefits as an insulation solution. In part due to its non-directional fiber orientation, stone wool also exhibits unique benefits which have come to be known as the 7 strengths of stone.
ROCKWOOL’s non-combustible stone wool insulation is ideal for reaching Passive House standards because it fits easily into the building and stays in shape over time, lets vapor pass through, is long-lasting, sound-absorbent, and fire-safe. Learn more about ROCKWOOL Passive House solutions.
