Best insulation mineral wool being installed.

 

Yes,  rockwool (also known as mineral wool or stone wool) is fireproof. It is highly resistant to fire and can withstand temperatures up to 1,000°C (1,832°F). Rockwool is made from natural volcanic rocks, like basalt, and is processed at high temperatures, which gives it its fire-resistant properties.

Due to its non-combustible nature, rockwool is commonly used in fireproof insulation for buildings, walls, ceilings, and floors, as well as for industrial applications that require high heat resistance. It helps slow down the spread of fire, providing valuable time for evacuation and reducing overall fire risk.

However, while Rockwool is fire-resistant, it’s always essential to follow local building codes and regulations for fire safety when installing insulation.
