When insulating a building, as well as in the area of sound and fire protection, care must be taken to ensure high energy compatibility. Mineral wool is ideal for insulating the walls and ceilings of a building, as well as for insulating floors or in heating and hot water pipes. The insulating material made of glass and rock wool is versatile and makes a decisive contribution in terms of sustainability and climate-friendly construction.
Mineral wool is produced in a resource-conserving way, the recycled content is 80 percent. The production of mineral wool mainly uses secondary materials, such as waste glass or limestone, as well as dolomite, sand or basalt. Production waste can be recycled into the manufacturing process. The water used for production is also purified and reused within the manufacturing cycle, so that hardly any production wastewater is produced.
A significant advantage of the insulation material made of mineral wool is its high energy efficiency. Already after the first heating or cooling period it is evident that the energy spent on the production of insulation and CO2 emissions are saved again. In the long run, mineral wool insulation saves a lot of energy and reduces the burden on the household budget. Mineral wool is durable, with the insulation quality remaining at the same high level over time. In addition, mineral wool does not burn, so insulation with this insulation material contributes to passive fire protection.
