Rockwool panels, made from stone wool (a type of mineral wool), are widely used for insulation, fire resistance, and acoustic performance. There are several types of Rockwool panels, typically classified based on their application (e.g., wall, roof, floor), facing material, and density/thickness.
Here are the main types of Rockwool panels:
1. Wall Panels
These are designed for external and internal walls.
Sandwich Panels (Insulated Panels): Metal-faced panels with a Rockwool core. Ideal for industrial and commercial buildings.
Fire-resistant wall panels
Acoustic wall panels
Cavity Wall Insulation: Batts or slabs placed between wall cavities for thermal and acoustic performance.
2. Roof Panels
Used for thermal insulation and fire protection in roofing systems.
Flat Roof Panels: Often used under waterproofing membranes.
Pitched Roof Panels: Used under tile or sheet roofs.
Sandwich Roof Panels: With Rockwool core for fire resistance and thermal control.
3. Floor Panels
For impact sound insulation and thermal performance.
Floating Floor Panels
Under-screed Panels: For use under concrete floors.
Acoustic Floor Insulation Panels
4. Ceiling Panels
Mainly for acoustic performance and fire protection.
Acoustic Ceiling Panels: Used in offices, schools, etc.
Fire-rated Ceiling Panels
5. Façade Panels
For ventilated façades and external wall cladding systems.
Ventilated Façade Panels: Often used with rainscreen systems.
ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems) Panels
6. Industrial & HVAC Panels
Used for mechanical and industrial applications.
Duct Insulation Panels
Pipe Section Panels
Equipment/Boiler Insulation
Common Facing Materials
Aluminum foil facing (for vapor barriers)
Glass fiber tissue (for HVAC)
Bitumen coating (for roof applications)
Metal sheet facing (for sandwich panels)
