For architects, providing a flexible solution is key to their often unique design element – American Rockwool extensive product line of Rockwool products offers more than just thermal insulation. Sound engineers and fire protection contractors choose our products because of the excellent acoustic values and fire protection characteristics. It is also the sustainable choice for modern buildings because of the extensive LEED contribution available.
In addition to its thermal insulation properties, Rockwool Premium Plus™ also offers a non-combustible layer in the building which gives added protection in the event of a fire because it will not burn. It also acts as an effective sound barrier, reducing noise between rooms or floors, or from the outside environment, and because it is made of rocks it will not sustain mold, mildew, or fungus. Our specially formulated adhesives allow for the immediate installation of drywall, so as not to slow the project down by waiting on the insulation to dry.
Your customers will be pleased for lots of reasons.
