What is the standard size of rock wool board
7/10/20246 min read
Rock wool board, as a common building insulation material, plays a crucial role in the construction industry. Its excellent insulation performance, fire resistance, and environmental protection characteristics make rock wool board an important choice for modern building energy conservation and consumption reduction. However, many people may not be very familiar with the conventional size of rock wool boards. This article aims to provide a detailed introduction to the conventional dimensions of rock wool boards, so that readers can have a clearer understanding when selecting and applying rock wool boards.
1）、 Basic overview of rock wool board
Rock wool board, also known as rock wool insulation board, is mainly made of basalt as the main raw material. After high-temperature melting, advanced four roll centrifugal cotton making technology is used to mix basalt rock wool fibers and a certain amount of organic matter in a specific proportion, and then cured and processed. Rock wool board has good insulation and fire resistance, as well as sound absorption and noise reduction capabilities, and is widely used for insulation and heat insulation of building walls, roofs, floors, and industrial equipment.
2）、 Conventional dimensions of rock wool board
The conventional size of rock wool board varies due to factors such as manufacturer, product usage, and national standards. Generally speaking, the length, width, and thickness of rock wool boards are their main dimensional parameters.
1. Length: The length of rock wool board is usually between 1200mm and 2400mm, and some products can reach 3000mm or longer. The choice of length mainly depends on the needs of the building structure and the convenience of construction. A longer rock wool board can reduce the number of joints during construction and improve the insulation effect.
2. Width: The width of rock wool board is generally between 600mm and 1200mm, and some products can also have a width of 1500mm or wider. The choice of width is also influenced by the building structure and construction convenience. A wider rock wool board can reduce cutting work during construction and improve construction efficiency.
3. Thickness: The thickness range of rock wool board is relatively large, generally between 30mm and 200mm, and can be even thicker in special circumstances. The selection of thickness mainly depends on insulation requirements and fire protection level requirements. Thicker rock wool boards have better insulation and fire resistance, but the cost is also relatively high.
In addition to the three main size parameters mentioned above, rock wool board also has some other size specifications, such as density, compressive strength, thermal conductivity, etc. The selection of these parameters also needs to be determined based on specific application scenarios and requirements.

3）、 Precautions for selecting the size of rock wool board
When selecting the size of rock wool board, the following points should be noted:
1. Choose appropriate size specifications based on the building structure and construction requirements. Different building structures and construction requirements may require different sizes of rock wool boards, so it is necessary to fully consider the actual situation when selecting.
2. Pay attention to the insulation and fire resistance performance of rock wool boards. Different thicknesses of rock wool boards have different insulation and fire resistance properties, which need to be selected according to specific needs. At the same time, attention should also be paid to the density and thermal conductivity parameters of the rock wool board to ensure that its insulation effect meets the requirements.
3. Consider construction convenience and cost-effectiveness. When choosing the size of rock wool board, it is necessary to fully consider the convenience of construction and cost-effectiveness. A longer rock wool board can reduce the number of joints during construction and improve construction efficiency; Thicker rock wool boards may increase construction difficulty and cost. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the convenience and cost-effectiveness of construction comprehensively while ensuring the insulation effect.
4）、 Application Cases of Rock Wool Board
To better illustrate the importance of selecting the size of rock wool boards, the following are several application cases of rock wool boards:
Case 1: External wall insulation project of a high-rise residential building. Due to the high number of floors and the difficulty of construction, a longer rock wool board was chosen for installation. By reducing the number of joints, construction efficiency has been improved while ensuring insulation effectiveness.
Case 2: Roof insulation project of a certain industrial factory building. Due to the large area of the factory and the high requirements for insulation effect, thicker rock wool boards were chosen for installation. By improving insulation performance, energy consumption costs have been reduced, while also meeting the requirements of fire protection level.
From the above cases, it can be seen that when selecting the size of rock wool board, it is necessary to comprehensively consider the specific application scenarios and needs to ensure smooth construction and achieve the expected insulation effect and fire protection level requirements.
