The absorbent of noise barriers

Acoustics are a fundamental part of any construction project. At Insametal we are leaders in the design, manufacture and installation of acoustic screens and we recognize the importance of using high quality materials to guarantee optimal acoustic insulation in various applications. One of the key materials we use in our acoustic screens It is rock wool. In this article, we will explore in depth what it is, why it is an essential insulating material and how we integrate it into our products.

What is rock wool?

Rock wool is a thermoacoustic insulating material made from natural minerals, such as basalt and dolomite. These minerals are melted at high temperatures and then transformed into fibers through a spinning process. These fibers are bundled into blankets or panels, which are used for a variety of insulation applications. It is prized for its ability to absorb and reduce noise, as well as its fire resistance and durability.

Properties

Rock wool is a particularly suitable material for acoustic insulation for several reasons:

1. Sound Absorption: The fibrous structure of rock wool allows it to effectively trap and absorb sound waves, reducing reverberation and unwanted noise in a space.
2. Fire Resistance: Rock wool is inherently fire resistant, making it a safe choice for applications where fire safety is a concern.
3. Versatility: Can be used in a wide range of applications, from walls and ceilings to insulation systems in industrial machinery.
4. Durability: Rock wool is a durable material that maintains its properties over time, ensuring constant acoustic performance.

How is it integrated into our acoustic screens?

At Insametal, we recognize the importance of using high quality materials for our acoustic screens, and rock wool is a natural choice to achieve exceptional acoustic performance. Our acoustic screens are precisely designed and manufactured to meet the specific needs of our customers. It is incorporated into our acoustic screens in several ways:

• Interior insulation panels: Used inside our acoustic screens to absorb and reduce noise from external sources, creating a quieter and more productive environment inside.
• Personalized design: We adapt its use based on the specific requirements of each project, which allows us to offer personalized acoustic insulation solutions.
