What are the unique features of stone wool insulation?
We are committed to enriching the lives of everyone who comes into contact with our solutions. By using stone, one of the world's most abundant natural resources, we can make a lasting impact across generations.
Stone wool (or mineral wool) was discovered on the islands of Hawaii around the beginning of the nineteenth century and occurs as a natural byproduct of volcanic activity. There is something uniquely exciting about turning an abundant natural resource into products that enrich modern life.

Case Study: Charlie West - Design meets performance in prominent residential tower
Charlie West is a prominent residential condominium located in the heart of downtown Kitchener, South Western Ontario, Canada. Because of its height as one of the tallest buildings in the city and with quality a major cornerstone, fire protection was a primary consideration when choosing insulation for the exterior wall system. Occupant comfort was also paramount, and the suites were designed to create an optimum indoor environment. To that end, thermal performance and sound dampening were added to the list of goals.
Case Study: Ken Soble Tower - Retro housing retrofitted for the modern age
The Ken Soble Tower project sought to rehabilitate a post-war apartment in Hamilton, Ontario. The building was completely upgraded, inside and out, to achieve Passive House standard, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an impressive 94%.
The success of the Ken Soble Tower retrofit demonstrates a pathway to revitalizing similar aging building stock across North America through ultra-low energy retrofits.
Renovate today. Reshape tomorrow.
What we do with existing buildings determines the legacy we leave for future generations. Faced with dwindling energy supplies and the increasingly obvious effects of climate change, it’s not enough to set higher standards for new buildings.
