ROCKWOOL Flat Roof Insulation

Rigid stone wool insulation boards for flat (warm) roofs — load-bearing, non-combustible (Euroclass A1), with good thermal, acoustic and fire performance and dimensional stability under membranes. A different application to ROCKWOOL’s rainscreen slab.

Carbon and evidence

Product Evidence

Evidence currently held for the ROCKWOOL product record.

ROCKWOOL

Recorded Carbon Result

1.68kgCO₂e/m² (R=1)

A1–A3 GWP-total per m² at R=1 m²K/W, per EPD (scale by R-value)

A1–A3 covers raw-material supply, transport to manufacture and manufacturing. It is product-stage information, not a whole-life result.

Third-party verified (EPD Norge). Declared per 1 m² at R=1 m²K/W — scale by the specified R-value (a typical R≈6 flat roof ≈ 10 kgCO2e/m² A1–A3). Nordic-market EPD; stone wool carbon is broadly market-independent.

* EPD transport and installation scenario, not this project's. Not declared: use. Module D shows potential impacts or benefits from reuse, recovery or recycling after the product's assessed life. It is reported separately and never added to A-C. Do not compare bar lengths between materials. Each chart may use a different scale and declared unit.

* A4/A5 are EPD scenarios, not project-specific results. Module D is outside the A–C system boundary and is not added to A–C. Module nomenclature follows BS EN 15978 / EN 15804. Declared values are suitable as inputs to a whole life carbon assessment under the RICS Professional Standard (2nd edition); this panel is not an assessment.

* Includes the EPD’s A4/A5 scenario assumptions, not project-specific transport or installation. This is the aggregation the proposed Part Z applies upfront limits to.

Service Life — the B4 Replacement Input

60 years · EPD reference service life

≈1 installation over a 60-year building study period.

B4 (replacement) follows the building, not the product: an assessor multiplies replacement cycles by project quantities. This record supplies the service life and does not compute B4.

2 claims and 1 certification are held in the staging record but not presented as product evidence because an exact public source has not yet been mapped.

Comparison Status

This result should be displayed for information only and not ranked against another product.

  • • The PCR and version are missing.
  • • The GWP indicator is missing.
  • • The carbon result is not linked to an evidence source.
  • • The EPD is not linked to an evidence source.

Evidence Gaps

  • 2 sustainability claims are withheld because exact public evidence is not mapped.
  • 1 certification is withheld because exact public evidence is not mapped.

Design & Specification Notes

Qualitative notes for early design discussion. Not product-specific EPD evidence, and not a basis for numerical comparison.

Rigid stone wool insulation boards for flat (warm) roofs — load-bearing, non-combustible (Euroclass A1), with good thermal, acoustic and fire performance and dimensional stability under membranes.

Typical Uses

  • Thermal envelope
  • Roof/wall cavities
  • Airtightness layers

Key Performance

Good thermal resistance with reduced heat loss.

Specification Actions

  • Compare embodied carbon of insulation options (natural vs synthetic).
  • Request blowing agent GWP values for foam insulation.
  • Confirm the current EPD covers the selected product, finish and manufacturing route.

Indicative Health & Indoor Air
