Mineral wool panels
Steel-mineral wool panels are a type of composite building material used in construction for their excellent fire resistance, thermal insulation, and acoustic properties. These panels consist of a mineral wool core, typically made from rock or slag wool, sandwiched between two layers of steel sheets. The steel layers provide robust structural support and protect the insulation core from mechanical damage and environmental exposure. They can be coated or treated to enhance their resistance to corrosion and UV radiation.
The mineral wool core is renowned for its non-combustibility and ability to withstand high temperatures, making steelmineral wool panels an ideal choice for fire-rated walls, roofs, and partitions in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. This core material also offers excellent thermal insulation, helping to maintain consistent indoor temperatures and improve energy efficiency. Additionally, mineral wool's dense and fibrous structure provides superior sound absorption, making these panels effective for noise reduction in various settings.
Steel-mineral wool panels are easy to install due to their modular design and can be manufactured in different sizes, thicknesses, and surface finishes to meet specific architectural and performance requirements. They are commonly used in applications requiring stringent fire safety standards, such as in industrial facilities, high-rise buildings, and public infrastructure, as well as in projects aiming to enhance thermal and acoustic performance. Their durability, low maintenance needs, and versatility make them a popular choice in modern construction.
