Prof. Marco Imperadori, Chair of Design & Technological Innovation at the Politecnico di Milano, has published the world’s first definitive reference book on the design and use of sandwich panels incorporating stone wool insulation. Developed with support from ROCKWOOL Core Solutions, part of the ROCKWOOL Group, the guide offers a comprehensive overview of the technology’s properties, applications, and benefits.

The book, Building with stone wool insulated sandwich panels, is aimed at designers and construction engineers involved in developing commercial and residential buildings worldwide. With case studies and practical guidance, it demonstrates how stone wool sandwich panels deliver robust, non-combustible, and sustainable insulation. Applications highlighted include industrial facilities, warehouses, logistics centres, and schools.

For industries embracing digitalisation, the physical infrastructure remains just as vital as the smart systems operating within it. By improving energy performance, acoustic control, recyclability, and resilience, stone wool sandwich panels contribute to creating efficient, safe, and sustainable environments for advanced manufacturing and logistics.

Bernard Plancade, Managing Director of ROCKWOOL Core Solutions, said: “The launch of this reference book marks a pivotal step in informing the industry about the benefits of stone wool insulation. This resource showcases the exceptional qualities of the technology and supports our goal to steer our target sectors towards sandwich panels that deliver safety, efficiency, and environmental performance.”
