Rock Wool Board

Rock wool board insulation provides dense, non-combustible mineral wool in rigid panel form for facades, ceilings, acoustic panels, and industrial equipment. Density from 40 to 200 kg/m³, thicknesses from 20 mm to 200 mm, fire classification up to Euroclass A1, with thermal conductivity from 0.033 to 0.042 W/m·K — confirm exact grade and documentation by inquiry. Supplied from our own and partner factories — combined capacity up to 450,000 t/yr, with a one-container MOQ and LCL support.

  • Dense, non-combustible mineral wool provides compressive strength for facades, roofs, and equipment surfaces where glass wool boards compress and deform.
  • Better low-frequency acoustic absorption than lightweight boards — the standard for acoustic partitions, studios, and equipment enclosures.
  • Dimensionally stable under cladding loads, fastener pull, and roof traffic that crush lighter insulation materials.

Problems This Product Solves

Common pain points this product is built to address.

Facade panels warp or sag when the insulation board cannot hold its shape under cladding.

External wall insulation systems (ETICS, ventilated facades) need rigid panels that resist wind suction, gravity, and temperature cycling without deforming. Rock wool board provides the dimensional stability that blankets and batts cannot.

Acoustic ceiling grids need boards with precise, consistent edges — not flexible cavity fill.

Lay-in ceiling tiles and clip-mounted acoustic panels require boards cut to exact dimensions with clean edges. Rock wool board is manufactured in rigid panel format that drops into grid systems.

Industrial equipment panels must resist compression under metal cladding without crushing.

Metal jacketing applies point loads at fastener locations. Rock wool board at suitable density withstands cladding compression while maintaining thermal performance — a requirement that low-density batts cannot meet.

Fire-review requirements demand non-combustible rigid panels with documented classification.

Fire-rated wall and ceiling assemblies require insulation with tested fire classification (Euroclass A1). Rock wool board provides non-combustible rigid panels with fire documentation for system approvals.

Quality control

Engineered for Consistent Performance

Every batch is produced under controlled conditions and verified against international standards, so what you specify is what you receive — project after project.

Product Benefits

What sets this product apart in real projects.

Dimensional stability under wind and thermal cycling

Facade and cladding systems stay aligned over time without insulation movement causing panel gaps.

Compressive strength at density

Supports under-cladding installation, traffic floors, and equipment panels without crushing at attachment points.

Non-combustible mineral fiber

Meets non-combustible classification for fire-review documentation routes in commercial and industrial projects.

Precision-cut edges for facade and ceiling systems

Reduces on-site trimming and provides clean board-to-board joints in visible or system-critical installations.

Higher temperature service range than glass wool

Suitable for equipment panels and industrial applications where operating temperatures exceed glass wool limits.

Acoustic absorption at density

Provides sound absorption performance for ceiling panels, partition systems, and acoustic wall assemblies.

Best-Fit Applications

Rock wool board is most commonly used where a rigid mineral wool panel is needed for thermal, acoustic, fire-review, or compressive-load conditions.

External wall facade systems (ETICS / ventilated)

Dimensional stability and non-combustible classification suit facade insulation under cladding or render.

Flat roof insulation

Compressive strength at density supports roof traffic and mechanical loads above the insulation layer.

Acoustic ceiling panels

Precision-cut edges and acoustic absorption fit lay-in ceiling grid systems.

Industrial equipment panels

Higher temperature range and compression resistance suit panels under metal cladding on tanks, ducts, and process equipment.

Fire-rated wall assemblies

Non-combustible mineral fiber supports fire-review documentation for commercial partition and wall systems.

Floor insulation under screed

Board rigidity and compressive strength handle screed load without long-term deformation.

For large continuous surfaces such as equipment wraps or metal building cavities, start with rock wool blanket. For pipe insulation, start with rock wool pipe. For framed cavity fill, start with rock wool batt.

Options & Variants

Choose the form that fits your application.

Foil Faced Board

Foil facing — vapor barrier and thermal reflection on the surface.

Black Tissue Faced Board

Black tissue facing — finished dark face for lay-in ceilings.

Unfaced Board

Bare board — to be covered by a jacket or building system.

  • One inquiry, multiple materials: combine rock wool with glass wool, rubber foam, or cellular glass in a single order.

When It's Not the Best Fit

Rock wool board is not the best first choice for every insulation condition. Review the project before using rock wool board when:

The insulation area is a large continuous surface such as a tank wrap, metal building cavity, or equipment blanket application. Rock wool blanket is usually the better starting point.
The cavity is closed or inaccessible and requires blown installation. Rock wool blow-in insulation may fit better.
The insulation must conform to curved surfaces such as cylindrical tanks or large-diameter vessels. Rock wool lamella may provide better conformability.
The application involves continuous moisture exposure, condensation risk on cold piping, or cryogenic service. Rubber foam, cellular glass, or specialist insulation may need review.

Selection Guide

Answer these to narrow down the right specification.

What is the application: facade, roof, ceiling, equipment, floor, or wall assembly?

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about this product.

Can rock wool board be used in fire-rated walls?

Rock wool board can be a component of fire-rated wall assemblies, but the fire rating belongs to the tested system — not the board alone. Confirm the complete assembly documents.

What density should I choose?

Higher density provides better compression resistance and low-frequency acoustic performance. Lower density is lighter and easier to handle. Confirm from the datasheet for the specific application.

Is rock wool board waterproof?

Rock wool board is not waterproof. It is water-repellent to varying degrees, but should not be exposed to sustained moisture without drainage and protection.

When should I choose rock wool board over glass wool board?

Choose rock wool board when the project needs higher density, compressive strength, higher temperature tolerance, or non-combustible fire documentation. Glass wool board is lighter and lower cost for moderate applications.

Can boards be supplied with facing?

Facing options may include foil, tissue, mesh, or other materials. Confirm availability, fire behavior, and compatibility with the application.
