As sustainability becomes an increasingly critical concern in construction, mineral fiber tiles are emerging as an eco-friendly option. Many manufacturers produce these tiles using recycled materials, reducing the overall environmental impact of construction projects. Additionally, mineral fiber tiles are often produced with low volatile organic compounds (VOCs), contributing to better indoor air quality.
One of the primary advantages of a suspended ceiling tile grid is its ability to conceal wiring, plumbing, and HVAC systems that run overhead. By using a grid system, builders can introduce a ceiling that is not only functional but also enhances the overall appearance of a room. The grid is typically made of lightweight metal tracks that are secured to the ceiling joists. Interspersed within these tracks are tiles made from various materials, including mineral fiber, metal, or fiberglass, which can be replaced or rearranged easily.
- Fire Ratings For commercial properties, it’s important that the panels meet relevant fire safety standards, ensuring that they do not compromise the building's fire integrity.
One of the defining features of mineral wool insulation is its non-combustibility. The boards are classified as non-combustible materials, meaning they can withstand high temperatures without igniting. This property is particularly beneficial for fire safety in buildings, contributing to passive fire protection strategies by slowing down the spread of flames and smoke.
ROXUL PROROX SL 960 is composed of high-density stone wool, which is made from natural basalt rock and recycled materials. This composition grants it remarkable fire resistance, noise absorption capabilities, and thermal insulation properties. The material can withstand temperatures of up to 1000°C without melting, making it an excellent choice for industrial applications where fire safety is paramount.
