WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE TWO TYPES OF INSULATED PANELS:

Insulation Value;
Fire Behaviour;
Sound isolation;
The manipulation and installation in place.
Let’s resume these differences in greater detail.

➡️ Insulation Value

The insulating value of polyurethane is higher than that of rock wool. What does it mean? This means that at the same insulation thickness and the polyurethane isolates more. Then a 50 mm thick polyurethane panel insulates like an 80 mm thick rock wool panel.

➡️ Fire Behaviour

Polyurethane is an organic compound that images to a lesser or greater extent tend to fuel the flames. Rock Wool consists of inorganic elements, which therefore do not contribute to the spread of the flames. What does this mean? This means that where there is a need to have a product that guarantees a fire resistance of an hour or two hours or three hours, it is necessary to resort to a rock wool panel.

➡️ Sound Insulation

The core advantage of a Rock wool panel is a contribution in a superior way to the reduction of noise because the rock wool fibers break the acoustic waves and reduce their intensity.

➡️ Lastly, manipulation and installation in place.

The main differences are related to the fact that the rock wool is heavier than polyurethane and therefore makes the handling and therefore requires more expertise for handling and installation of the panels.
