Mb Rock Premium by Rockwool voted “favorite” by the jury among the 2021 Artibat novelties

A major construction and public works fair for more than 30 years, ARTIBAT brings together in Rennes this year more than 1.000 exhibitors and 40.000 construction professionals. On the occasion of the show, the New Features Guide is published, which highlights innovations of less than one year offered by industrial manufacturers and distinguished by a jury of experts in the construction industry. This selection takes into account not only the advantage for the professional, the improvement of performance, the interest for the end customer but also environmental concerns. Among the list of products that caught the Jury's attention this year, the new Mb Rock Premium is one of the “Coups de Cœur” novelties.

Specially suitable for the insulation of timber frame constructions, Mb Rock Premium by ROCKWOOL is a panel made entirely of rock wool which provides excellent thermal comfort all year round. In winter, it helps keep the heat inside. In hot weather, Mb RockPremium offers excellent summer comfort: it limits the penetration of heat into the home, reduces overheating and keeps the air relatively cool.

Thanks to its density (density of 65 kg / m3) and its thermal conductivity (lambda 32), Mb Rock Premium increases the thermal inertia of the wall, making it possible to maintain a pleasant interior temperature throughout the year. This product has a low diffusivity allowing to delay and attenuate the transfer of the heat flow from the interior to the exterior and vice versa.

In addition, Mb Rock Premium contributes to improving the quality of indoor air as evidenced by the A + health labeling reserved for products that emit very few volatile organic compounds. Infinitely recyclable and incombustible, Mb Rock Premium does not contribute to the development of the fire. It is recommended on timber frame walls of any type of building, residential or professional, individual or collective. It also allows ease of installation providing comfort and time saving in installation.

“We are proud to offer a product that guarantees our customers all the benefits of rock wool insulation while adapting to new construction trends and meeting the objectives of RE2020. Today, wood is no longer confined to individual homes and is gaining ground in all segments of construction. It was therefore essential for ROCKWOOL to offer a durable product, easy to install and fully suitable for timber frame constructions. Incombustible by nature, Mb Rock Premium panels provide optimal fire protection and slow the spread of fire, which is obviously essential for buildings with wooden frames ”, says Matthieu Biens, Marketing and Product Development Director for Southern Europe at ROCKWOOL.
