In service for nearly a century, Rockwool has become the industry leader in stone wool insulation on a global scale. Bellis has cultivated ties with the Denmark-based company to bring their sophisticated solutions to Australia. With Rockwool, the trusted Bellis catalogue continues to grow in quantity and quality for the oil, gas, liquefied natural gas (LNG), power and resource processing industries.
Bellis offers Rockwool stone wool insulation for optimum use in industrial and commercial applications. The driving force behind Rockwool is the sustainability and development issues of the built environment. The Rockwool range is designed to singlehandedly take on multiple challenges faced in modern living, such as energy consumption, noise pollution, water scarcity, and even flooding.
Rockwool is based on stone, one of the most abundant natural resources in the world. Stone is considered inexhaustible as the Earth makes 38,000 times more rock than what is used to process stone wool, making Rockwool a sustainable material right from production. With the latest technologies, the recycled raw materials are spun at a high temperature to create fibres that inhibit heat transfer.
At work, Rockwool products serve as thermal barriers in a comprehensive high-temperature insulation system. The stone wool insulation controls temperatures and prevents condensation to maintain a comfortable indoor ambience. The industry is responsible for 40% of total energy-related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, and 26% of annual energy consumption. Rockwool can cut back on heat and water costs through proper and maintained installation, retaining at least of 80% of thermal energy within the environment. Furthermore, an annual production of Rockwool can save over 4 billion tonnes of CO2 in its lifetime.
In addition to thermal insulation, Bellis offers optimum sound absorption features with Rockwool. The stone wool insulation reduces the transmission of acoustic excesses due to impact, such as the slamming of doors, the displacement of tables, or the tread of footwear across the floor. Sound absorption can significantly enhance the quality standards of establishments. For example, research shows that children do not hear one out of four words spoken by their teachers in 25% of schools lacking noise insulation.
Bellis provides the ultimate solution to alleviate this concern, having a lasting impact across generations.
Rockwool can withstand extreme temperatures, making for a firesafe insulation system. Buildings can stay protected from the spread of fire, thereby allowing more time for people to evacuate to safety on the occasion. The stone wool insulation products are available in grades of 350°C, 450°C and 650°C from Bellis.
While highly durable, Rockwool is light in weight for easy handling and installation. Rockwool can be installed in building envelopes and elements, including ceilings, roofs, interior and exterior walls, and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems. The products can be simply cut to fit pipework, tank covers, floor sections, or even ovens in residential or commercial kitchens.
