Effective and durable roof insulation can prevent significant heat loss from residential and commercial properties. Increasing the energy efficiency of a building can also mean reducing bills and operating costs.
We supply a variety of insulation products for flat or pitched roofs, as well as loft insulation, made from premium stone wool to keep temperatures consistent.
The fire-resilient properties of ROCKWOOL products also allow for more freedom in your designs.
Homes and commercial properties that are not effectively insulated can lose approximately a quarter of heat through the roof.1
Insulation helps to maintain the building’s optimum temperature, so you can get creative with the results. Turn a loft area into a living space or an extra bedroom or turn a flat roof into a welcoming terrace or green roof.
Insulating a flat or pitched roof – or a loft – can help:
Every home and business is different. With various sizes and dimensions of flat or pitched roofs, as well as budgets and bills to consider, there’s no one-size-fits-all solution.
The savings homes or businesses stand to make can more than make up for the costs of roof insulation.
In terms of money that can be saved, energy use and reducing the carbon footprint, installing roofing insulation is well worth the investment.
A three-bedroom semi-detached house could deliver a return on the investment on insulation in just three years2, as the gradual savings on energy outgrow the initial outlay.
ROCKWOOL applications incorporate the latest BIM techniques to determine the required U-value for a project. This helps to predict the costs of an individual project, whatever the size and scope. Use our ROCKWOOL U-value calculator for more information.
ROCKWOOL products – including roof insulation boards, slabs, rolls and granulate – are specially designed to cope with a variety of conditions. Our technical experts are on hand to help you with the best product specification to suit your design.
Available in a selection of sizes and thicknesses, our innovative stone wool products are both durable and effective for the lifetime of your building.
Our flat roof range maintains its high performance against the cold, while the versatile installation methods of our pitched roof products means you can protect your building with above, in between and below rafter insulation.
Easily fit a loft floor with slabs, rolls or granulate, to achieve the best results.
Benefits of our stone wool insulation include:3
Thermal properties
Specially treated stone wool has optimal insulative properties. Warm air can be trapped inside the home and cold air can be kept out to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures.
Noise-absorbing
The acoustic properties of stone wool can better contain sound within a building, providing better acoustics for budding rock stars, office workers and eager students alike.
Sustainable
Stone wool is manufactured from volcanic rock, a natural and plentiful source – vital in the construction industry.
The remarkable and innovative Zaha Hadid-designed Port House building in Antwerp, Belgium was created as a sustainable workplace for the headquarters of Europe’s second-largest port.
Port House required protection against the noise from technical installations on its complex flat roof, as well as effective fire protection to ensure the highest possible safety standards.
ROCKWOOL stone wool products were installed due to their effective acoustic properties, while ROCKWOOL roof insulation boards used in the building met the highest A1 Fire Class rating.
Our ‘cut to fall’ service also allowed the insulation to be custom-fitted to Port House’s unusual boat-shaped roof – facilitating swift installation and allowing the right angle for draining rainwater from the surface.
Details of how to install our products for flat or pitched roofs can be found on the sub-application pages. To accommodate for local requirements and regulations, specific product information is available on our local product pages.
Key things to note:
At ROCKWOOL, energy efficiency is at the heart of everything we do.
Our insulation is manufactured from stone, one of the earth’s most abundant and sustainable resources and we believe that through clever use of this material, we can help save others from being depleted.
By installing insulation sourced from innovative stone wool, our products can help reduce the amount of energy that needs to be used to heat buildings – and save money on energy bills too.
Specialist roof insulation can also increase the acoustic properties of a larger build where noise pollution could be a problem, such as urban homes, buildings near airports, libraries and schools.
