Innovative improvements
The application of our ROCKWOOL façade solutions instantly – and significantly – improve a building’s energy efficiency. They also strengthen its safety and the comfort of its internal environment in three important ways.
Insulating façade solutions that secure the best possible energy efficiency performance.
Based on natural stone wool, ROCKWOOL ETICS and ROCKWOOL ventilated façade solutions insulate any building’s envelope to improve the indoor environment while making it more sustainable and more fire resilient. We call the process of wrapping a building in either solution, ‘rockcovering’.
The application of our ROCKWOOL façade solutions instantly – and significantly – improve a building’s energy efficiency. They also strengthen its safety and the comfort of its internal environment in three important ways.
Made primarily from volcanic rock, our stone wool can be endlessly recycled – at a growing number of locations – with no loss of performance. If recycling isn’t an option, stone wool is safe for disposal. It is also bio-soluble and contains no harmful chemical flame retardants that can leak into the environment. Learn more about our approach to circularity and find out if there is a Rockcycle programme in your area.
ROCKWOOL façade solutions deliver the unique properties of stone wool to the building envelope, providing excellent and consistent year-round indoor thermal comfort, as well as better energy efficiency.
Our stone wool insulation products are non-combustible, naturally. Unlike combustible building products that require chemical flame retardants to achieve even minimal fire-safety ratings, stone wool insulation products do not burn. They will not contribute to the spread or intensity of a fire and won’t emit significant amounts of toxic smoke – the leading cause of fire-related fatalities.
Whatever the purpose or condition of the building they’re applied to, our ROCKWOOL façade solutions solutions improve energy efficiency and fire resilience and reduce environmental impact.
So, whether for renovations or new builds, houses or high-rises, don’t just insulate, rockcover it.
An exterior wall application consisting of a unique combination of insulating layers with stone wool at their core, ROCKWOOL ETICS effectively enhances the sustainability profile, thermal performance and fire resilience of any building.
A façade construction featuring an air gap between the insulation and stone wool cladding, ROCKWOOL ventilated façade solutions protect against fire and weather, create a healthy indoor climate and reduce moisture to avoid the development of mould.

The 7 strengths of stone is how we refer to the superpowers within ROCKWOOL stone wool products. And each of these strengths are present in ROCKWOOL ETICS and ROCKWOOL ventilated façade solutions. So when you rockcover the façade of new or existing building with either solution, its performance will reflect these 7 strengths.
