Paroc

Paroc is a brand of mineral wool insulation used in construction and industrial applications. The brand originated with Paroc Group Oy, a Finnish insulation manufacturer, and is now marketed by Saint-Gobain, a multinational materials company. Paroc products are widely available across Europe through Saint-Gobain’s network and manufacturing facilities.

Mineral wool insulation, including Paroc products, is made by melting natural rock such as basalt and other components and forming the material into fibers that are pressed into boards, slabs, pipe sections, and other shapes. The resulting products are designed to provide thermal insulation, sound insulation, and fire protection for buildings and industrial installations. They are commonly used in walls, roofs, floors, HVAC systems, and exterior cladding applications, often specified to meet energy efficiency and fire-safety requirements.

Paroc materials are produced to deliver a range of thermal performances and fire ratings, with various thicknesses and formats to suit different construction needs. The products are designed to be non-combustible and resistant to moisture and pests, and they can contribute to passive fire protection and sound attenuation in structures.

In addition to performance attributes, Paroc emphasizes sustainability and lifecycle considerations. Mineral wool insulation is typically durable and can be recycled or repurposed at end of life, and manufacturing processes are intended to align with environmental and quality standards expected in European construction markets. The Paroc brand remains part of Saint-Gobain’s portfolio of building insulation solutions.
