Are there different types of rockwool?
- Product Types.
- Non-Combustible Insulation.
- Insulation Rolls
- Insulation Slabs
- Thermal Insulation
- Insulation Granulate
Rockwool Insulation is a proprietary name for a type of stone wool that is frequently used as an insulator for buildings. Rockwool is manufactured by heating certain minerals to their melting point and then spinning the minerals until they solidify in the shape of fine threads.
Rockwool Insulation may also be known as rock wool or stone wool insulation.
