Bright blue Rockpanel facade upgrades residential building Cologno

The choice of materials for facade renovation

When choosing the materials to be used for the facade renovation, some absolutely necessary prerequisites were taken into account. First of all, the thermal insulation values were paramount. Furthermore, fire protection also played an important role in the decision-making process. And finally, the acoustic requirements were also very important.

In the end, the architect opted for a solution that was of high quality, durable and able to adequately meet all these requirements. ROCKWOOL’s REDAir solution ticked all the boxes. This product offers the excellent performance of stone wool insulation combined with the additional aesthetic benefits of Rockpanel cladding boards, which are made from the same material.

The benefits of Rockpanel cladding

Another important factor that was taken into account when choosing ROCKWOOL’s REDAir solution was the fact that the Rockpanel boards are very easy to install. They are particularly light (8.4 kg/m2) and can easily be processed with standard tools as they are as strong as rock, but as easily processable as wood.

Their durability has also been taken into account. When carrying out a redevelopment project of this magnitude, it is paramount that the quality and performance of the material is maintained over time. Rockpanel boards are low-maintenance and resistant to UV radiation, moisture and dirt.

For the condominium of Cologno Monzese, boards from the Rockpanel Colours range were used in a bright blue colour. The old, deteriorated panels of the same colour were replaced by the blue Rockpanel facade boards to make the facade shine again.
