Choosing compatible wall and roof panels for a house

For a house, wall and roof panels must be selected separately and then their connection checked. Heat, acoustics, fire protection and structure all matter. A single PIR thickness does not answer every question. Windows, the plinth and interior finish are also important. The panels should be part of the design of the entire residential envelope. A roof panel has a different task and geometry from a wall panel. It must drain water and work on the specified roof supports. The wall is subject to its own loads and contains openings. For this reason, one variant cannot be used everywhere based only on similar insulation.

Will a mineral wool panel soundproof the hall, and how do you read its acoustic parameters?

A mineral wool core does not mean that every panel absorbs noise well inside the room. A panel with full steel facings can limit sound transmission while reflecting it back into the room. First you need to establish the problem: noise outside, between rooms or reverberation in the hall. Each requires a different approach. Insulation describes limiting the passage of sound through a partition. Absorption concerns the energy that does not return to the room as a reflection. These are different properties. Material hidden behind full steel sheet does not behave the same as an exposed or suitably protected absorbent layer.
