10 cm 50 kg/m³ Rock Wool
Product Description
10 cm 50 kg/m³ rock wool is a lightweight insulation board designed to provide an economical solution for thermal, acoustic, and fire insulation. Its 10 cm thickness significantly reduces heat transfer, improving energy efficiency, while its 50 kg/m³ density keeps the material lightweight and easy to handle.
With its A1 non-combustible fire classification, this insulation board also offers excellent fire protection, making it suitable for a variety of residential and commercial building applications where lightweight construction is preferred.

Install the insulation boards tightly together without leaving gaps.
-
For exterior applications, protect the insulation with render, cladding, or another suitable finishing system.
-
Carefully seal all joints to minimize thermal bridging and maximize insulation performance.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Does the 10 cm thickness improve energy efficiency?
Yes. The increased thickness significantly reduces heat transfer, helping lower heating and cooling costs while improving the overall energy performance of the building.
What applications are suitable for 50 kg/m³ rock wool?
It is ideal for lightweight exterior wall systems, pitched roofs, attic insulation, suspended ceilings, interior partition walls, and prefabricated buildings where high structural loads are not expected.
Is it fire resistant?
Yes. It is classified as A1 non-combustible, meaning it does not contribute to fire spread and provides reliable passive fire protection. It also maintains its structural integrity at temperatures of up to 1,000°C.
