Roxul stone wool is the perfect medium to minimise heat transport from the exterior of a building to the interior and vice versa. This results in a comfortable indoor climate with less use of energy to maintain the comfort level.
Investing in insulation materials from Roxul is a one-time investment. The products last for more than 50 years and are maintenance-free. Can you make the same statements about your air-conditioning system in maintaining your comfort?

Commercial buildings
Commercial buildings in Malaysia are usually equipped with air-conditioning to achieve a comfortable indoor temperature and to ensure the well being and effectiveness of the people working in the building. Roxul stone wool products will not make air-conditioning obsolete, but rather by using insulation materials, the use and capacity of air-conditioning system can be further optimised. Furthermore, in tropical climate, air-conditioning is not adequate to cool down ceilings and walls in order to ensure no heat-radiation will transpire from the ceilings and walls. By insulating these areas, the radiation can be reduced significantly! In addition, insulation helps to maintain a comfortable indoor climate for longer periods, so that the energy consumption for further cooling with air-conditioning can also be reduced.
Residential buildings
Insulating with Roxul stone wool in your home would improve the indoor temperature and provide better comfort level in your home. Up to one third of your energy bills can be saved by doing proper insulation; and the additional cost of insulation could be as low as between 2% and 5% of the total costs of the house. Instead of extensive air-conditioning, you would only need a smaller model which will result in lower electricity bill.
With the global temperature rising, people will require air-conditioning system to maintain their comfort level and in some cases, people just cannot live without air-condition. In recent years, more and more housing development provides pre-installed air-condition along with the houses.
Imagine, if you wish to have a room temperature of 24oC, and your starting (room) temperature is 30oC, your air-conditioning units would have to lower the temperature by 6oC. If the starting temperature of the room is 34oC, your air-conditioning units would need to lower the temperature by 10oC. Therefore, you would spend much more on electricity and require even bigger air-conditions in order to reduce the heat that penetrates into the building through the roof and outer walls. So, for those who wish to enjoy a comfortable living environment, yet not spend too much on the electricity bills, insulation is the ideal solution.
