Rockfon stone wool acoustic solutions supporting hygiene and moisture resistance.

The Health & Hygiene of Stone Wool

Materials are one of the foundations of healthier buildings.

Because stone wool has no nutritional value, it helps create spaces that stay dry, fresh, and hygienic – even in demanding conditions.

Mould & Bacteria Resistance

Mould forms when airborne spores settle on damp, organic surfaces.

Stone wool has no nutritional value, so it cannot feed mould or micro‑organisms – and it doesn't require added fungicides or antimicrobials to stay resistant.

Safe Handling

Made from naturally occuring volcanic rock, stone wool fibres are bio‑soluble, meaning that if inhaled, the body can dissolve them without health effects.

Stone wool causes no chemical irritation and poses no risk to human health, though gloves can help minimise temporary minor itching.

A Superior Building Material

Stone wool is one of the most tested building materials, proven safe to make, install, and live with.

Data from REACH and WHO shows it poses no health risk, making it a reliable choice for healthy, safe buildings.
