Stone wool as a raw material

Our core material is stone wool made from volcanic stone – an abundant material that is endlessly replenished by the Earth.

Safe, durable, and fully recyclable in a closed loop, stone wool helps create more sustainable buildings without compromising on critical performance criteria such as sound absorption and fire resistance.
