Wool

Building energy trends continue to shift towards increased energy efficiency, leading to stricter and better-insulated buildings. At the same time, the focus on airflow and its cleanliness in the built environment - and the corresponding move towards healthier spaces - is gaining momentum. As a result, an increasing number of construction professionals choose to use high-efficiency and environmentally-friendly materials in their projects.

Properly designed and installed insulation offers immediate and long-term benefits. Insulation protects your family, staff, equipment, and your budget. Using insulation boards reduces energy costs, prevents moisture accumulation, and reduces harmful emissions.

Insulation for thermal insulation creates a safe and comfortable family or professional environment, keeping temperatures moderate both during winter chills and summer heat. Additionally, insulating with Knauf stone or glass mineral wool improves the acoustic characteristics of the building, reducing noise levels.

Why Use Insulation?

The fibers of the insulation are densely woven together and are much thicker than other materials like cotton. They do not allow the loss of a lot of heat. As a result, they are excellent insulators.

Types

• stone mineral wool

Stone wool, also known as mineral wool, is made by spinning molten rock and minerals with steel slag to create a cotton-like wool product. Compressed into rolls and sheets, facade stone wool provides incredibly effective insulation with sound-absorbing and fire-resistant properties at an affordable price. The wool is installed like any household insulation on kitchen walls but can be flexible or rigid, providing a full range of solutions to meet your needs.

• glass mineral wool

Our offered glass mineral wool is lightweight, easy to install, and provides exceptional thermal insulation as well as incredible soundproofing capability. Building insulation made from mineral wool is created from molten glass turned into a fiber-like structure, creating a combination of properties that no other insulation consumable can possess.

Advantages of Building Insulation

Mineral wool is one of the most preferred insulation boards produced and used in projects worldwide. Here's why it's so favored:

• Easy installation

Mineral wool is undeniably lightweight and adaptable and fits in places between timber, metal frames, and ridges without the need for separate attachment. These properties make it an easy-to-install and workable material.

• Building insulation is undoubtedly an applicable material in many areas

Stone mineral wool is produced to be applicable in many areas of construction. Whether it's for use in attic spaces, roofs, floors, kitchen walls, solid walls, structured panels, or pipelines, insulation boards fit perfectly everywhere.

• Such insulation boards are safe

According to the European Association of Insulation Manufacturers, mineral wool is considered one of the most thoroughly researched materials among construction materials. Over the past half-century, more than 1000 studies by recognized scientists in Europe and America have been conducted to ensure that the consumable is safe for use in building construction and production facilities.

• Effective insulation is fire-resistant

One more advantage of mineral wool is that it is almost non-combustible and does not ignite or spread flames. A building using mineral wool automatically increases its fire safety.

• Stone/glass mineral wool is very durable

As for durability, building insulation is at the forefront of the insulation league. Additionally, installed mineral wool for the roof or floor has the potential to be directly reprocessed and reused in an insulation system.

• The material has excellent sound absorption

The structure of mineral wool resembles pores and stretches, allowing it to absorb sound waves. If you have a huge need for soundproof panels, mineral wool can be the solution.

• It has impeccable thermal efficiency

Knauf stone and glass mineral wool provide excellent thermal properties and can be manufactured to withstand temperatures up to 400°C. This makes it the ideal material for insulating factories and energy facilities.

• Produced from recycled materials

As glass mineral wool is made from raw materials such as glass, it can be created from recycled ingredients. This adds another significant advantage to the "features" of mineral wool at a good price.

• A good long-term investment

Thermal insulation is an element of overall insulation that is truly worth investing time and resources in. Once again, mineral wool scores points because it combines material durability with an incredible price. For this reason, it's a good long-term investment.
