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 tips3:

  • 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.

Calculator and savings

The amount of metal building wall insulation required will depend on the size of the construction. Generally, no less than 100mm thickness should be installed. 

ROCKWOOL metal wall solutions are designed to meet the level of thermal performance required in your local market, with multi thermal performance levels and thicknesses available. Up to 70 percent of heat loss can be avoided with the effective implementation of solutions such as insulation, distance holders and no thermal bridging screws.  

Use our U-value calculator to determine the right ROCKWOOL solution to achieve your target thermal performance.
