How monolithic sandwich panels can be used in the Off-site construction
25 February 2021
The Off-site modular construction allows to design and manufacture the structural elements of a building directly in the factory and then to end the assembly at the worksite, thus saving time, costs and considerably reducing…
Rock wool panels for modular structures with fitting for system routing
7 August 2019
This is a special panel, born from all-around collaboration with one of our Customers, used as an external wall on modular structures. Its distinctive characteristics are its fitting for the routing of systems and its…
Acoustic insulation: rock wool and perforated sheet
4 June 2019
When we talk about insulation and environments, the first aspect we usually highlight is thermal insulation, or the back and forth heat exchange between internal and external environments.
However, we must not disregard the importance of protecting ourselves from noise to ensure good environmental comfort.
In fact, noises with certain intensity and spectral composition can produce an auditory deficit over time, which hampers people’s ability to perceive the acoustic frequencies of the spoken voice (500, 1000, 2000 Hz), and seriously damages the quality of life.
To clarify this aspect, we should take a step back and do a brief acoustics refresher.

Fixtures, doors, and windows: what are the differences between aluminium and PVC?
30 April 2019
When building or renovating a house, fixtures and doors/windows are often the most difficult elements to choose, given the variety of types and materials available on the market.
Each door/window features its own distinctive traits hence every room calls for a different fixture. If, for example, the focus lies on thermal insulation, we must select a fixture suitable to that end.
Acoustic efficiency of fixtures: Does it matter?
30 April 2019
Proper acoustic damping of doors and windows is key to make any environment liveable.
Over time, cars, vibrations and other noises coming from the outside can turn from a simple nuisance to a real stressor, especially at night.
Thus, care must be taken to choose only quality fixtures, designed to operate optimally as acoustic insulation.
