Rock wool fibers are a highly efficient insulation material used in most of the known thermal, acoustical or fire stopping insulation, due to its high melting temperature and very low thermal conductivity.

The open cell structure of rock wool makes it an ideal product as a sound absorber or acoustic insulator, with high absorbing/insulating coefficients over a wide sound frequency range, the acoustical insulation can be achieved by installing it and providing significant improvement in insulation.

The most important characteristic of rock wool is its exceptional resistance against fire; rock wool is non-combustible and does not ignite. It is therefore internationally specified as a fire rated material. rock wool prevents the fire to spread from a zone to another.It also acts as a protection for load bearing elements in steel structures and thus prevents the building from collapsing under fire conditions.

Rock wool products are made from more than 95% of inorganic fibers; therefore there are little nutrients to allow fungal growth. Because of this and the product's water repellency; there is no need to add fungicide. Rock wool insulation does not promote fungi or mold growth.

Rockwool is highly durable with high dimensional stability and mechanical strength in stiffness that does not change at different temperatures and humidity in the atmosphere. It does not expand or contract due to temperature variances, nor affected by the presence of moisture. Therefore, rock wool insulation can be used internally or externally while still maintaining its original thickness throughout its lifetime. Suitable for use in internal spaces with its lightweight. rock wool insulations are manufactured with slightly flexible edges that allow the product to knit together at butt joints and fit closely into between elements without leaving gaps. With superior dimensional stability, it stays in place and remains in shape for a long period of time.
