The rediscovery of mineral wool. Discover the unmatched comfort of installation with a soft touch.
What is it?
Volcalis mineral wool is an ecological product based on sand and binder of biological origin, available in rolls and slabs, with high thermal and acoustic performance, fire resistant, easy to handle and apply.
Excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, Volcalis mineral wool is a non-combustible, fire-resistant material, free of harmful substances and ensures a safe and healthy indoor environment.
In addition to the ACERMI certification, which attests to the rigor of its thermal performance and reaction to fire, Volcalis mineral wool holds the Eurofins Indoor Air Comfort GOLD seal, guaranteeing the lowest emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This distinction places the Portuguese mineral wool at the highest level of the European market. By complying with the strictest requirements of certifications such as LEED or BREEAM, Volcalis ensures that the insulation contributes to cleaner air, free of harmful substances—a critical aspect in schools, hospitals, and modern homes.
The entire range of mineral wool insulation produced by Volcalis is covered by five DAP/EPD registered in the DAPHabitat System in accordance with ISO 14025, EN 15804 and EN 15942 standards and in the European ECO PLATFORM list.
Why using it?
Because it contributes to the comfort and thermal and acoustic efficiency of buildings. It allows a high-performance insulation solution, which complies with the high standards of indoor air quality assessment. Volcalis mineral wool fully complies with all parameters of the Epiderm Skin Irritation Test (SIT), which certifies that the material is non-irritant to the skin. This “installer-friendly” characteristic eliminates one of the major stigmas of traditional mineral wools, facilitating handling and application, which directly translates into higher quality of execution on site.
Thermal performance
Did you know that buildings are responsible for the consumption of 40% of all energy consumed in Europe? Mineral wool is an excellent thermal insulator.
