ROCKWOOL builds fire safety expertise with fire-stopping investment

ROCKWOOL has launched a global centre of excellence for fire-stopping in Birmingham, where it will manufacture a new range of products. This new multi-million pound investment builds ROCKWOOL’s in-house expertise on fire safety. 

ROCKWOOL’s new fire-stopping range, which is due to launch this summer, will include coated batt, sealants, collars, wraps, pillows and socket boxes. The facility will enable ROCKWOOL to manage the product line from conception to delivery and support ongoing innovation and the pursuit of industry-leading performance and sustainability. 

Later this year, ROCKWOOL will also open a specialist training centre at the Hams Hall site to support partners in the construction industry. Clients will have the chance to experience product demonstrations and install ROCKWOOL’s fire-stopping, HVAC and fire protection products across a series of rigs that mirror a variety of common building applications. 

Visitors will be able to bank these learning sessions as credits towards their Continual Professional Development (CPD).
