Rockwool Adria
Rockwool Adria is the business unit managing activities in Italy, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Kosovo and Macedonia. In addition to the production plant in Sardinia, Rockwool Adria operates the new production plant in Croatia.
The main business area of Rockwool Adria is to provide energy-saving and environmentally friendly thermal insulation.
Environmental advantages
Rockwool insulation products are one of few products that can save more than 100 times the energy used for their manufacture. These properties save scarce non-renewable energy resources and reduce air pollution and CO2 emissions by minimising the combustion of fossil fuel.
Life saver
When specifying building materials it is imperative to select products that will not make a significant contribution to the early stages of fire or contribute to the spread of fire.
Rockwool insulation is manufactured to minimise heat loss and to protect against fire. Rockwool stone wool products are rated in the new EU Fire classification system at the best classification, as Euroclass A1, non-combustible in fire.
Rockwool insulation products are made from basalt rock and slag. They are resistant to temperatures higher than 1000 °C and are vital thermal and acoustic insulation products with excellent fire resistance properties.
Our focus is to develop high performance and cost effective products that perform well from cradle to grave, enhancing the life cycle performance of buildings and reducing vulnerability to and losses from fire for environmental and sustainable buildings.
Energy efficiency
Most of the energy in buildings is used for heating and cooling. Today it is possible to build new houses than consume 70% less energy for heating than Europe’s strictest requirements. The indoor climate of these well insulated houses is better. Lifetime cost savings on energy expenses far outweigh the small investment in energy efficiency.
Current EU rules on energy efficiency in buildings fail to capture 90% of the potential to reduce CO2 emissions.
The European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) (2002/91/EEC) is the most significant measure that has been adopted by the EU. The aim: to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from buildings.
The Directive’s focus is on new buildings whilst also proposing certain measures that encourage energy efficiency improvements for existing large buildings (greater than 1000 m²).
