Built into walls, ceilings, floors, attics, roofs and facades, ROCKWOOL stone wool products can help prevent a fire from spreading through the interior or exterior of a building, which could make the difference between having a fire in a building and a building being on fire. Fire safety and prevention also gives the people inside valuable extra time to evacuate safely and firefighters more time to extinguish the fire. Homes and buildings are safer when made with fire-resilient stone wool insulation. We know our product can help prevent the spread of fire – but we also know that just making a good product is not enough.

Fire protection comprises of three pillars: detection, containment, and suppression. Each contributes toward a balanced approach to protecting people and property.
