Durability Academy

As an abundant natural resource, stone has great potential in a world that needs innovation now more than ever. Stone wool insulation is a durable technology that meets the requirements for the International Building Code’s (IBC) non-combustible materials. The process of spinning molten volcanic rock at 1500 C into fibers leads to a strong material that features outstanding thermal, fire and acoustic properties. This academy focuses on how rock wool provides solutions for energy efficiency, sound absorption and fire safety in a time of increasing concerns about climate change and in pandemic-informed environments where occupant mental and physical health are of the highest priority.
