External Wall Insulation (EWI) is key to delivering energy efficiency in solid wall properties and can cut heating costs by as much as 40%. Southern Solar achieved Rockwool® Rockshield® Approved Installer status in 2012.

 

Rockshield® is high performing external wall insulation and weather-proofing system that improves the energy efficiency of the building envelope and provides an attractive decorative finish, it relies on entrapped air for its thermal properties. This means Rockshield® compares favourably to competing products on Global Warming Potential (GWP) rating zero for the purposes of schemes such as Code for Sustainable homes. Being the only breathable, dual density EWI solution on the market with a rain repellent core made Rockshield® the clear choice for Southern Solar Ltd.

What is Rockwool®?

 

Rockwool® is made from stone wool, which comes from naturally occurring volcanic rock. It’s this that sets their product apart and provides market leading protection from fire, noise, and wear and tear.  

 

Why Rockwool®?

 

Sustainable

 

Insulation is the first port of call for anyone looking to reduce their energy consumption. It offers quick wins in terms of reducing utility bills and reducing CO2 emissions and will rapidly pay back your investment.

 

Rockwool® stone wool is made from a naturally occurring, renewable and recyclable resource.

 

Fire Resistant

 

As Rockwool® put it themselves: rock doesn’t burn. Rockwool® products have naturally occurring fireproof qualities that can’t be beaten and will improve the fire resistance of your building, tolerating temperatures of up to 1000˚C.

 

Sound Proof

 

The porous nature of Rockwool® effectively prevents sound as well as heat from travelling through it. This means that noise from traffic, neighbours, machinery from the outside - or even internal noise between rooms can be minimised with Rockwool®.

 

Durable

 

Nothing passes the test of time quite like actual rock, and this is what Rockwool® products are made from. Over the years they keep their shape, are not affected by temperature or moisture and will last the entire life of the building, never needing to be replaced.
