PAROC stone wool products are a durable and fire-safe choice for all your building insulation needs.

Different floors demand different insulation solutions. Intermediate floors have to be well insulated against noise between the floors. Ventilated floors act like a facade below the building, while ground slabs have high demands for moisture movement. A well-insulated floor structure creates a good sound environment and keeps you feet warm on cold winter days.

PAROC step sound insulation minimises structural borne (step sound) noise and improves living comfort in the building.

In warm attics, the dimension of the joists limits the thickness of the insulation.

In many countries, simple log walls do not fulfill today’s energy efficiency demands without an additional insulation layer.

In many countries, simple log walls do not fulfill today’s energy efficiency demands without an additional insulation layer. Paroc renovation solutions guides you to fulfill the energy efficiency demands.

The lowest sound insulation demands can be passed with a single-layer wall. If the wall mass is doubled, the sound reduction figure increases to around 6 dB. The sound is absorbed by the insulation.

In cold attics, the large space between the ceiling and external roof structure makes it possible to install an energy-efficient insulation layer.

The cold attic often forms the biggest uniform surface in a building and the main part of all heat escaping through the building envelope tries to penetrate through the roof. To maximise energy efficiency, first check if the attic needs additional insulation.

The insulation of a sitecore:item:Tree_Node_19B5DDD766E84B6694A1C8E0B31BC006pitched roof at rafter level (warm attic) enables maximum utilisation of roof space in both new and refurbished residential and non-residential buildings.

Regardless of the type or slope of the roof, it is the most important part of the building envelope contributing to heat loss and energy efficiency. When you reduce heat loss through your roof, you need less energy to heat your entire house.

PAROC stone wool is excellent material for use in sound insulation and sound absorption constructions. Due to the unique properties of stone wool, it is widely used in acoustic ceiling, floating floor and partition wall applications.

Industrial wall is a typical wall structure for semi-heated industrial buildings and warehouses. A continuous wall insulation layer on top of the studs significantly improves the thermal resistance of the structure by preventing cold bridges.

Masonry walls can be insulated or renovated with timber frame or metal frame structures.

With a stone walls, the thickness of each layer is not limited by specific timber frame dimensions, so the the thickness of the structure can be selected more freely.

These stone wall solutions can be used both in new buildings and in renovations.

Our top recommendation for a timber wall structure is what we call a Nordic Wall. A Nordic Wall achieves the desired U-value with a thinner structure compared to other timber structures.

Sawdust in old wall structures has fairly poor thermal insulation capability with extremely high ignitability. If you want to improve the thermal performance of the external wall more, replace sawdust insulation with PAROC stone wool.

A suspended or ventilated timber floor is detached from the ground with a ventilated subfloor space below. The structure of ventilated floors is very similar to wall construction.

A suspended or ventilated timber floor is detached from the ground with a ventilated subfloor space below. Old insulation used in ventilated floors usually settles over time, creating to a gap between the floor surface and insulation layer. Gaps between the floor joists and insulation allow cold air to easily spread under the floor surface, which cools down the whole floor surface.

The external walls of a building function as a climate shield. They protect against cold, precipitation, strong winds, noise and fire. A good external wall structure, with the right insulation solution, is a prerequisite for a healthy and pleasant indoor climate.
