Superrock Premium - A New Standard in Stone Wool

Unwanted noise can negatively affect health and productivity, disrupting people's well-being in multiple ways. The World Health Organization (WHO) warns about the negative consequences of environmental noise, which is the second largest cause of health problems after air pollution. Whether it's the commotion in entertainment venues or the constant noise from city traffic, the importance of reducing noise cannot be underestimated. Fortunately, the construction sector has available solutions that help reduce noise and alleviate its harmful effects on health.

Stone wool importance in sound insulation

Everyone knows stories from apartment building residents who hear their neighbors from the adjacent apartment through the walls of their flat. So that everyone can spend their evenings in peace and quiet, it's worth considering sound insulation with stone wool. One of the effective solutions for limiting sound propagation is stone wool products, which are known for their excellent sound insulation capacity.

Stone wool is made from natural rocks, which are converted into fibers, forming a material that can excellently absorb sound waves and dampen noise. It is typically used in buildings to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer, and in addition, stone wool is excellent for sound insulation.

What stone wool products do experts recommend?

For airborne noise insulation in partition walls and ceilings, experts recommend using universal higher-density stone wool boards ROCKWOOL SUPERROCK PREMIUM. These boards can be used in various light-frame constructions for both sound and thermal insulation. For those who want to reduce impact noise disturbances, experts offer ROCKWOOL STEPROCK PLUS stone wool boards, which are strong and non-flammable. These boards can be used for sound and thermal insulation of floating floors in buildings of various purposes: residential buildings, public buildings, hotels, schools, or hospitals.

What makes SUPERROCK PREMIUM stone wool boards special?

Better than standard thermal conductivity

One of the newest improvements in ROCKWOOL's stone wool product range is the SUPERROCK PREMIUM stone wool board. This is a product that has created a new standard among stone wool products. The market long followed a uniform standard for thermal conductivity coefficient – λD = 0.035 W/(m⸱K), but now SUPERROCK PREMIUM offers a better standard – λD = 0.034 W/(m⸱K). This means that these stone wool boards insulate heat effectively, keeping rooms optimally warm.

Improved sound insulation

Sound absorption is one of the most important properties to consider in sound insulation solutions. SUPERROCK PREMIUM stone wool boards are among the best options in this regard. The boards create multi-layered structures where sound-absorbing layers alternate with sound-reflecting layers. When the stone wool board thickness is 50-99 mm, the sound absorption coefficient (αW) is 0.90, and for a thickness of ≥ 100 mm, it reaches the highest value of 1.00 (the highest sound absorption coefficient). This means that these boards are excellent sound insulators, so you won't hear your neighbor's TV through the walls.

Versatile use

SUPERROCK PREMIUM stone wool boards can be used in several different ways. They are well suited for thermal insulation of pitched roofs, attics, partition walls, ventilated exterior walls, and other non-load-bearing structures. ROCKWOOL SUPERROCK PREMIUM stone wool boards are easy to work with and install. These two qualities are much appreciated by builders and repair workers, allowing stone wool boards to be installed quickly.

SUPERROCK PREMIUM key features
