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

ROCKWOOL is helping to make communities like yours more fire-safe. Through our efforts both in product development and partnerships with fire-related organizations, we are helping to create safer homes and buildings for people in communities across North America. Here are the three ways we are helping to make your community safer:

1. Contributing to maintaining strong building code regulations and standards for residential and commercial buildings as well as schools and hospitals.
2. Promoting fire safety by educating the design and development industry on the importance of exceeding the minimal code requirements to ensure occupant safety.
3. Sharing new information and research from fire-safety partners with our product development team to optimize our insulation for continued best-in-class fire protection.
