Apartment renovation

1. Internal walls

To improve the thermal, acoustic, and fire resistivity in internal walls, consider insulating your partitions with stone wool. Internal partition walls can change the design of your apartment, but, when insulated effectively, will also prevent noise and heat transfer from neighbouring units. You will be able to rest at night without disturbances from other people coming, going, or just living in the same building.

With insulated steel or wood stud walls, you can limit sound transfer between your rooms while providing a distinct barrier against heat loss. Stone wool insulation comes in rolls, slabs, or rigid boards to help you design a new and exciting interior for your apartment.

2. Ceilings and floors

Installing stone wool insulation in the ceilings and floors can help reduce heat transfer between different levels, reducing the cost of heating or cooling your apartment. As heat rises, providing an effective barrier will reduce thermal losses and enable you to maintain comfortable temperatures inside the apartment throughout the year. These solutions will also improve the acoustic performance of the apartment and prevent noise disturbances from upstairs units with stone wool being capable of reducing sound passing through floors by up to eight times.

You can select from a variety of insulation solutions that will ensure you benefit from the unique properties stone wool offers, including improved acoustics, fire resilience, and energy-efficiency. By installing dual or mono density stone wool floor and ceiling insulation in your apartment or condo, you can maximise the energy-efficiency of your home both above and below your family.

Floor and ceiling insulation comes in acoustic, thermal, and flexible applications that are easy to install and provides superior performance over the lifetime of the building. Stone wool insulation does not deteriorate over time, ensuring you can enjoy the benefits of a more comfortable and healthy indoor environment for decades to come.

3. External walls

Renovating external walls with stone wool insulation will help ensure the envelope of the building shields you from the effects of external noise and temperature. Heat loss usually occurs through the roof or walls of the building, making solutions that insulate from inside or outside vital for improving indoor comfort and energy performance.

Stone wool insulation will also reduce condensation in walls and prevent the formation of mould, providing a healthier living environment for the occupants. ROCKWOOL has partial or full fill slabs, as well as granulate or complete ventilated façades available to ensure you can optimise the indoor climate of your apartment.

4. Façades

When conducted as part of a building-wide renovation project, an external façade replacement provides complete design freedom with all the benefits that stone wool brings. Solutions for external façades come in all shapes and sizes, usually ensuring an aesthetic that is pleasing to all the occupants. ROCKWOOL’s solutions can increase a structure’s thermal performance in line with LEED, BREEAM, and passive house standards.
