If you’re considering Rockwool panels for your next project, you may have questions about their performance, usage, and installation. Whether it's for a data center, cold storage, or industrial building, Rockwool panels offer unmatched fire resistance, thermal insulation, and soundproofing. At BRD New Materials, we provide a one-stop solution — from consultation and panel supply to delivery and installation. Below are the most frequently asked questions to help you better understand how Rockwool panels can benefit your building.


1. What is a Rockwool panel?

A Rockwool panel is a type of sandwich panel made with Rockwool (mineral wool) core insulation, sandwiched between two layers of metal sheets (usually galvanized or pre-painted steel). It is widely used for its excellent fire resistance, thermal insulation, and soundproofing properties.


2. Is Rockwool panel fireproof?

Yes, one of the biggest advantages of Rockwool insulation panels is their fire resistance. This makes it ideal for factories, commercial kitchens, power plants, and cleanrooms where fire safety is crucial.

3. Can Rockwool panel be used as a soundproof wall panel?

Absolutely. Due to its dense and fibrous structure, Rockwool effectively absorbs sound. It is commonly used in soundproof wall panels and ceilings in buildings that require noise control, such as auditoriums, recording rooms, or even shared walls between offices and conference rooms.


4. What is the difference between Rockwool panel and PU (polyurethane) panel?

While both are sandwich panels, the core material makes a big difference. PU panels offer better thermal insulation, but Rockwool panels outperform PU in terms of fire resistance and acoustic insulation. The right choice depends on your project’s needs.


5. Can I use Rockwool sandwich panel for roofing and wall cladding?

Yes, Rockwool sandwich panels are suitable for both roofing and wall cladding applications. They provide excellent weather resistance, thermal stability, and long-lasting performance in Malaysia’s hot and humid climate.

6. What thickness of Rockwool panel is suitable for external walls?

For external walls, we commonly recommend 50mm to 100mm Rockwool panel thickness, depending on the required fire rating, thermal insulation, and structural load. Thicker panels provide better soundproofing and fire protection — essential for high-risk or sensitive environments like data centers or industrial facilities.


7. Are BRD Rockwool panels certified for fire safety?

Absolutely. Our Rockwool panels come with fire-resistance certifications, such as Bomba BS8414, Bomba BS476 Part 22 and SIRIM. These certifications comply with Malaysian and international safety standards.

8. Why do we use Rockwool panels for the external wall of a data center?

Rockwool panels are ideal for data centers because they offer fire resistance, thermal stability, and acoustic insulation. Data centers require constant cooling, and Rockwool helps reduce heat gain, improving energy efficiency. Its non-combustible core provides critical protection for valuable servers and electrical systems during a fire. The panels also reduce external noise and resist moisture, making them perfect for long-term reliability.


9. Where to buy Rockwool panels in Malaysia?

If you’re looking for a reliable Rockwool panel supplier in Malaysia, companies like BRD New Materials offer local manufacturing, custom dimensions, professional consultation, and full installation service. You can also request samples or project references to evaluate before purchase.
