What is Rockpanel cladding made from?
The core ingredient of Rockpanel facade cladding is a unique natural material: basalt. But what is basalt exactly? And why is it such a sustainable material?
Production of basalt
0
The earth produces 38,000 times more basalt through volcanic activity than the ROCKWOOL Group, of which we are part, uses for the production of stone wool
High melting point
0
We bring together the basalt and recycled content and heat it to a temperature of 1500 °C, and then it’s melted and whipped around by a spinning machine. After the stone wool is done, we add a small amount of binder and press it into a high-density board.
