Suspended ceiling tiles provide a sleek, finished look to the ceiling that can be interspersed with lights to provide a modern look. To request an EPD for suspended ceiling insulation, please contact ceiling insulation also improves thermal comfort and airtightness, reducing energy consumption to heat a property, while lowering the impact of external noise pollution on the occupants.After you’ve completed your ceiling grid, you will need to fit it with tiles. Įnvironmental Product Declarations (EPDs) provide life-cycle-assessments, covering the manufacturing process as well as upstream impacts including the extraction and transport of the raw materials, and the downstream impacts such as product transport, maintenance, and disposal options at end-of-life.Īn EPD can be used as inputs to design tools to achieve a required sustainability performance for a building and we provide EPDs for all of the stone wool insulation products manufactured in the UK.
Our slabs, roll and panels are all made from natural stone wool and designed to last the lifetime of any building. All ROCKWOOL products are recyclable, whether you’re installing a suspended acoustic ceiling to reduce noise transfer, or your priority is reducing energy consumption.
