The correct choice of building materials and structures determines the durability of structures. This applies equally to new and renovated buildings. The main thing is that the materials meet the requirements both today and in the future. Stone wool solutions have been proven to maintain their performance for decades, saving maintenance costs over the entire life of a building.
Modern reality suggests that both private consumers and developers prefer functional, reliable and durable materials. This ensures the development of green building, preservation of property values and a long life cycle of buildings.

Experts from the Russian Academy of Architecture and Construction Sciences (NIISF RAASN) have proven that Rockwool stone wool solutions retain their shape and strength for at least 50 years in any conditions, regardless of pressure, temperature and humidity changes. Experts simulate these conditions in laboratories to determine the effective life of the material. The test method corresponds to the national standard GOST R 57418-2017 “Mineral wool heat-insulating materials and products. Method for determining the effective operation period.
Some more interesting facts:
• Insulation based on stone wool is non-corrosive and resistant to mildew;
• Fire-technical characteristics of stone wool solutions remain unchanged throughout the entire service life of the building;
• Thanks to its unique structure, stone wool is easy to adjust during installation without the use of special tools. It adheres tightly to all types of irregularities, without sagging or leaving tears in the insulating layer.
