Why do we need insulated sandwich panels?
Engineers, contractors, architects and building owners are under more pressure than ever to construct buildings that are energy efficient, safe and sustainable.
This, alongside an emphasis on speed of construction and considerations around the growing impact of noise pollution, can prove a significant challenge. Sandwich panel constructions that integrate our stone wool core material can play their part in ticking all these boxes. They enable fast construction, economical processes and improved energy efficiency for buildings.
Our solutions are suitable for insulating ceilings, both interior and exterior walls (including partition walls and facades) and roofs – as well as for firewall applications. When installed, stone wool insulation harnesses the 7 Strengths of Stone, offering:
- Increased fire protection – stone wool core insulation integrates non-combustible properties to sandwich panels, delivering the highest European fire classification A2-s1, D0. This provides far greater protection against flames than many other insulation types.
- Acoustic capabilities – blocking unwanted noise from attached or neighbouring buildings. The acoustic absorption qualities offered by our stone wool can help tackle the growing impact of noise pollution.
- Thermal performance – temperatures are better regulated in buildings, thanks to the smart fibre structure of stone wool insulation. Improving energy efficiency also leads to cost and energy savings.
- Bespoke solution – products are manufactured in advanced plants, ensuring a customised product for your sandwich panel process.
