ROCKWOOL INSULATION MATERIALS WHY DO WE HAVE TO USE INSULATION ?  Green  Sustainability  Energy Efficiency  Thermal Comfort  Safety from Fire  Acoustics MANY REQUIREMENTS – ONE ANSWER Insulation WHY DO WE HAVE TO USE INSULATION ?  Energy Consumption Pattern Transport 32% Buildings 40% Industry 28% WHERE TO INSULATE ? Typical Energy consumption of a private household Better savings are expected in GCC due to lack of stringent building code Hot water 11,5% Light 1,5% Hot water Light Household House hold facilities 11,5% Heating / Cooling Heating/cooling 75,5% POTENTIAL FOR ENERGY SAVINGS  Facades 30 %  Roof 20 %  Windows 20%  Cellar 15 %  Ventilation 15 % WHY DO WE HAVE TO USE INSULATION ? Without heat insulation You have to cool down 10 degrees With heat insulation You have to cool down 3.5 degrees Save more than 40 % Energy WHY WE HAVE TO INSULATE? THERMAL BUILDINGS FOR BETTER MAINTENANCE Situation of non-insulated wall with concrete column • 25 cm solid block • Inside Temp 18 C Cracks • 50 cm concrete column • Outside Temp 48 C Cracks WHY WE HAVE TO INSULATE? THERMAL BUILDINGS FOR BETTER MAINTENANCE Situation with ROCKWOOL– no thermal bridges due to an envelope system • 25 cm solid block • Inside Temp 18 C • 6 cm Rockwool No cracks from Expansion • 50 cm concrete column • Outside Temp 48 C THE OBVIOUS CHOICE - FRF   Best Basalt around the World Presence of Aluminum makes The Best Fiber FUJAIRAH ROCK WOOL PRODUCTS  LOOSEWOOL  BLANKET (S.S. , G.I., wiremesh)  SLAB (with and w/o foil, polybag, black veil)  PIPE SECTION (with and w/o foil) THANK YOU
