mineralivillalevyjä

Mineralivillalevyjä, often translated as mineral wool boards or mineral fiber boards, are a type of building material widely used for insulation and soundproofing. These boards are manufactured from mineral fibers, typically rock wool or glass wool, which are spun into a fibrous mass. This fibrous structure traps air, creating excellent thermal and acoustic insulation properties. The manufacturing process involves melting raw materials like slag, basalt, or recycled glass at high temperatures, then spinning them into fine fibers. These fibers are then bound together using a binder, often a resin, and compressed into rigid boards of various densities and thicknesses.

The primary applications of mineralivillalevyjä include thermal insulation for walls, roofs, and floors in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. They are also effective in reducing noise transmission between rooms and from external sources, making them a popular choice for acoustic insulation in studios, theaters, and offices. Their non-combustible nature contributes to fire safety in buildings, as mineral wool materials generally have a high fire resistance rating. The boards are relatively easy to handle and install, further contributing to their widespread use in construction. They are known for their durability and resistance to moisture and pests, ensuring long-term performance.
