Indoor health, safety and wellbeing

Improving quality of life

Stone wool contributes to comfortable and healthy living, providing noise and vibration control as well as thermal properties. ROCKWOOL insulation reduces noise passing through building assemblies. Rockdelta products decrease ground-borne noise and vibration from trains. Rockfon ceilings absorb sound, making rooms more comfortable and helping us to communicate more effectively.

People naturally want to live in a healthy environment. Indoor climate is just as important as the conditions outdoors: temperature, air quality and acoustics are all part of creating a beneficial indoor life. 

Our Thinking stories

Sick building syndrome

Curing sick buildings can improve profits as well as wellbeing. As we spend up to 90 percent of our time indoors it’s important that the spaces where we work support our wellbeing.

Built-in protection

Non-combustibility is a core feature of fire regulations around the world, and a crucial element of building safety in the case of fire

What happens in a fire

All fires require three elements: a source of ignition, combustible materials, and oxygen.

Smoke kills more people than fire

Toxic smoke inhalation causes more fire-related deaths than do the fires themselves.

Did you know?

Well-designed and constructed, buildings contribute to good health, create comfortable surroundings, and enhance our ability to concentrate and perform key tasks.  Buildings do affect people’s wellbeing. Human living standards depend on how effectively a building supports its occupants and how efficiently it maintains an optimal indoor climate.

Our thinking

Sustainability and circularity

In a circular economy, products should be used for as long as possible – and reused to the greatest extent possible when they reach the end of their service life.

Urbanization

Cities are growing. With that comes challenges. Urban flooding and fire fatalities being some of them. Intense rainfall overwhelms the capacity of the drainage systems in cities.
