Non-Combustible

Being non-combustible not only enhances the fire safety of structures by preventing the spread of flames but also contributes to a safer environment for occupants during a fire emergency. Its fire-resistant nature is a significant advantage in building design, allowing architects and builders to meet stringent fire safety standards effortlessly. Rockwool’s non-combustibility also offers long-term peace of mind, ensuring that buildings are safer and more resilient against fire hazards.

The high melting point of Rockwool, approximately 1177 degrees Celsius (2150 degrees Fahrenheit), ensures that it remains stable and does not emit harmful smoke or toxic gases during typical fire conditions. This feature is critical for maintaining structural integrity and allowing more time for evacuation in the event of a fire, thereby enhancing overall building safety.

Architects and builders frequently choose Rockwool for high-risk areas such as facades, partition walls, and ceilings, especially in settings like commercial buildings, hospitals, and schools where safety is paramount. Moreover, its ability to act as a barrier to the spread of fire between floors and rooms can be pivotal in meeting both national and international fire safety regulations.
