Rockwool Slab

We’re proud to offer premium rockwool slab insulation, a versatile and robust solution for your commercial and industrial projects. With over 30 years of experience in the insulation industry, we understand the unique challenges faced by Australian businesses and provide top-quality products to meet your specific needs.

What is rockwool slab?

Rockwool slab is a rigid, high-density insulation board made from stone wool fibres. Slab is manufactured by melting natural rock at extremely high temperatures and spinning it into thin fibres, which are then compressed and formed into rigid boards. This process results in a product that combines excellent thermal insulation, superior fire resistance, and outstanding acoustic properties.

Key features and benefits of rockwool slab

Our rockwool slab offers a range of advantages that make it the ideal choice for demanding commercial and industrial applications:

1. Exceptional Fire Resistance: Being non-combustible rockwool offers superior fire protection in industrial settings.
2. Superior Thermal Insulation: The dense structure of rockwool slab effectively traps air, significantly reducing heat transfer and improving energy efficiency.
3. Excellent Acoustic Performance: Effectively absorbs sound waves, making it perfect for reducing noise in commercial spaces and industrial facilities.
4. Moisture Resistance: Naturally water-repellent, our rockwool slab reduces the risk of mould and mildew growth, even in high-humidity environments.
5. Dimensional Stability: Maintains its shape and performance over time, ensuring consistent insulation throughout the life of your building or equipment.
6. Easy Installation: The rigid slab format allows for quick and efficient installation, particularly on large, flat surfaces.
