Fire Resistance
Withstands temperatures of over 1000°C. In urban areas where land is scarce, more and more people are choosing to work and live in high-rise buildings. These buildings can be a brilliant solution to the challenge of safely housing a growing population.
Thermal Properties
Saves energy by maintaining an optimal indoor temperature and climate. It makes living and working conditions healthier and more comfortable, helping people thrive, especially in urban environments. Temperature maintenance can significantly reduce heating, cooling and ventilation costs, and reduce a building's carbon footprint.
Acoustic Properties
Blocks, absorbs or enhances sound. From railways to trams, roads to airports, good infrastructure is essential for city life, which can be very noisy. The resulting ground vibrations, traffic noise, not to mention man-made noise pollution, have a serious negative impact on our health, especially in densely populated areas.
Water Properties
Manages our most precious resource. Population growth is putting pressure on traditional food production, and climate change is increasing the need for flood protection. Stonewool can be designed to absorb or repel water as needed, as well as recycle it in greenhouses, solving a range of water management issues.
Aesthetics
Match performance with beauty. When people live and work in aesthetically pleasing spaces, they feel comfortable and motivated. Environments where people enjoy spending time improve social cohesion and make communities safer and healthier.
