Go for a ventilated facade construction including ROCKWOOL insulation and Rockpanel facade cladding. Together, we offer the right solution for your renovation project. No matter if you need to renovate a detail or you need to replace the full facade of a building block or upgrade an entire urban area.

ROCKWOOL and Rockpanel products both offer all the strengths of stone to create safe, durable and pleasant environments. And with Rockpanel cladding, you get full design freedom to either match existing building or create a completely new facade expression. The assortment includes 200+ colours and designs, and on top of that, customizations are also possible.

Using Rockpanel products makes any renovation project fast and easy

The boards are light-weight, easy to handle and process with standard tools and enable a fast and smooth installation process. They can be easily cut to size on site and there’s no need to treat the edges afterwards.

But most of all: The Rockpanel facades are built to last. They are sustainable, fire safe and insensitive to moisture. The boards a low-maintenance and have an officially confirmed lifetime of minimum 50 years – and after that, they can be fully recycled. Thanks to their optimum colourfastness, they will keep their beautiful appearance for years. With a ProtectPlus coating, even graffiti can be removed.

That’s why we say #renovatewithrockpanel!
