Metecno Lanka Ltd. has yet again contributed to the construction industry by investing in a brand new continuous panel line for Mineral Wool (Rock Wool) sandwich panels.
The new line is equipped to manufacture mineral wool panels using high density mineral wool blocks which are fireproof and soundproof.
Metecno Lanka Ltd, part of leading conglomerate Metecno Group with 25 installations in 18 countries, is the leading manufacturer of energy efficient sandwich panels and high-quality zinc aluminium.
As Sri Lanka’s premier total roofing solutions provider, Metecno Lanka Ltd - formerly known as Metroof Ltd - made its mark in the country’s construction arena by being one of the pioneers to introduce zinc-aluminum roofing sheets in 1993 and through the ground-breaking introduction of the Polyurethane Sandwich Panels in 2007, which features an excellent heat resistant polyurethane layer sandwiched between two steel sheets, revolutionised the roofing industry.
The new production line is now supplying the market with Mineral Wool (Rock Wool) sandwich panels with world-class quality.
Mineral Wool, also known as Rock Wool, is made of basalt, a volcanic rock. Rock Wool is non-combustible with a melting point of more than 1,000° C. It is particularly suitable for thermal insulation, fire protection and sound reduction/absorption. It is inorganic and contains no nutritious substances. Therefore, it will not be affected by microorganisms. Rock Wool also does not rot and attracts no vermin. Mineral Wool is non-combustible, causes no smoke development and produces no toxic gases.
Metecno High Density Mineral Wool Sandwich Panels have a two-hour-plus fire rating which makes it the only Class A fire rated material in this product category.
Apart from that rating, Mineral Wool is also a Class A sound absorption material which is widely used in high noise environments to insulate them from sound.
With the above properties, Metecno Mineral Wool panels will be the ideal construction solution for any type of construction that requires both fire safety and sound insulation.
Metecno Mineral Wool (Rock Wool) Sandwich Panels are available as the following specialised products:
“Metecno has always introduced novel products to the market as well as invested in new technology to provide better quality and environmentally-friendly products. This time we have introduced a sandwich panel capable of withstanding extreme heat which absorbs extreme sound. The products are manufactured through a state-of-the-art continuous line. These panels will help safeguard buildings against fire and insulate them against sound pollution. We are confident that the introduction of the new panel line will be a success like our other products,” said Metecno Lanka Director/CEO Anuksha Sri Nammuni.
Sandwich panels have become the roofing and walling product of choice for the construction industry because of their many advantages and the Mineral Wool (Rock Wool) Sandwich Panel will be a value-added product in the Sandwich Panel category.
“All of our products are fast-moving due to their extremely useful nature. I can recommend Metecno products with confidence to anybody based on the results of the stringent quality checks and the comments received from clients who have already used the product,” added Metecno Lanka Ltd. CEO Anuksha Sri Nammuni.
