Metal wall systems are used extensively in the construction of industrial and commercial buildings around the world. They offer a cost-effective, fast and modern method for creating constructions such as storage outlets, warehouses and shops.

To keep operating costs and construction time down, you can install metal wall insulation to improve thermal, acoustic and fire protection performance. This can also enhance occupancy comfort and help ensure local building standards and regulations are met.

We have ROCKWOOL products to suit various applications of metal building wall insulation – appropriate for many types of industrial and commercial developments.

ROCKWOOL Plus™ MB

ROCKWOOL Plus™ MB is a is a lightweight, non-combustible, semi-rigid mineral wool blanket insulation that is designed for pre-engineered metal building construction where an hourly fire rating is not required.

Why do we need metal wall insulation?

Metal walls and accompanying insulation systems are an important part of constructing industrial buildings. They offer a sustainable solution to help build faster, better and at a lower cost.

Our products are designed to retain these advantages with their ease of installation and fast application to metal wall systems. This saves time and costs during the installation process – an important focus of the construction industry.

ROCKWOOL insulation delivers effective thermal, fire and acoustic performance. This improves energy efficiency, comfort and safety following the construction or renovation of any building with a metal wall system. 

Key benefits include:

  • Improved energy performance
  • Reduced installation and operating costs
  • Greater comfort for building occupants
  • Freedom of design to suit different systems
  • Fire safety properties

Installation

The shape and format of ROCKWOOL metal wall insulation is designed to fit the metallic tray profile – straight lip or box – allowing the insulation to cover tray lips.

You won’t need to protect the cutting edges or the facing of the insulation between the different phases of your project.

When installing, the system avoids the compression points of the insulation to give it a constant thickness – allowing for easy installation whatever the shape and size of your metal walls.

Key tips2:

  • Measure the area – Plan carefully when installing insulated metal wall panels or other materials by accurately measuring your metal wall system before ordering insulation.
  • Use a registered installer – For ultimate peace of mind, arrange for a qualified installer to apply metal building wall insulation to your industrial or commercial construction.
  • Prepare your tools – ROCKWOOL insulation can be cut easily with a knife to resize and reshape for filling holes and avoiding any gaps.
Technical information and guides

Metal wall insulation reduces thermal bridging to improve the energy efficiency and operating costs of large industrial buildings. This cuts the carbon footprint it would otherwise produce.

Our products are also highly sustainable and designed to help your buildings comply with local energy regulations – striving towards achieving NZEB (nearly zero-energy buildings) standard4.
