50 mm Petralana PETRAROOF-B insulation board

Mineral wool combines thermal insulation with acoustic benefits and the properties of a non-combustible material. Its capabilities depend on the product type and application, so selection should begin with the specific building element. SteelProfil helps choose wool for façades, lofts, partitions or roofs, taking account of the required thickness, fixing method and intended performance in use.

For a wall insulated with ETICS, choose boards designed to sit beneath the reinforced base coat and render. Flat roofs require properties appropriate to the specified loads, whereas framed walls need insulation fitted to the spaces between studs. This distinction makes it easier to compare options and choose a product that suits the construction method, rather than relying only on the wool’s name or thickness. In a loft, carefully filling the spaces between structural members helps maintain continuity, while the right product makes it easier for the installer to achieve the specified insulation thickness.

The fibrous structure absorbs sound energy, which is why suitably installed mineral wool is valued in internal partitions. The result depends on the complete wall assembly, its linings and its connections. In a home this can support comfort in bedrooms and studies; in commercial premises it can help separate rooms with different uses. Appropriate selection allows several insulation benefits to be incorporated during a single stage of construction.

Mineral wool products come in different forms and degrees of stiffness, giving considerable flexibility when matching insulation to a structure. Vapour permeability matters when designing the complete building element, and non-combustibility can support the required fire protection solution. At SteelProfil we help identify a suitable insulation option and relate its properties to the building’s intended conditions of use.

• Thermal insulation reduces energy loss through properly designed walls and roofs.
• The fibrous structure supports sound attenuation in correctly constructed building elements.
• Non-combustible mineral wool can be used in assemblies with specified fire protection requirements.

For a larger renovation, list material requirements separately for each building element. This helps retain the necessary properties where they are needed and avoids paying for a randomly chosen specification. SteelProfil’s wider insulation range includes first- and second-grade materials and selected stock batches. Availability of a particular wool product is established according to the type and quantity required for the work.

Promotions can make insulation purchases more economical, and we assess competitive pricing against the actual package of materials. We can help compare options for a new home, refurbishment of business premises or internal partitions. Specify the areas and the solutions shown in the design. Together we can select wool intended for the job, so that the budget supports thermal comfort, acoustics and the usability of the rooms.
