 Rock wool: considering the fact that rock wool is installed as sheets inside the walls, the
chief reason behind this includes its fire resistant property. Rock wool is fire resistant and
possesses the ability of withstanding extremely high temperatures along with noise
resistance. According to researchers, the temperature resisting ability of rock wool is
much higher compared to that of the fibre glass.
 The rock wool stone wool possess the potential to withstand heat as high as 10000 degree
Celsius without getting melted. Thus it possesses the potential to slow down the spread of
fire in properties (Berardi and Iannace 2017).
 Rock wool also possess efficient thermal insulating properties. When attached to the
outside of a property, 120 mm of our dual density plates will reduce the u-value to 0.3,
which implies that the building will then comply with the building regulations. It implies
enhanced thermal comfort for the occupants as the estate will remain at more even
temperatures as well as reduced charges for energy (Napper and Thompson 2016.).
 When it comes to the chief advantages of using Continuous Glass Filaments, it includes
its light weight property, high strength, easily shapable structure, corrosion resistance and
durability. The composite part helps the mentioned material to save the weight compared
to the steel parts (Kobayashi et al. 2016). Along with this, considering the fact that glass
fibres are lighter than steel, they are easier to use.
 The Continuous Glass Filaments were also popular for its easy to shape property.
Composites can be moulded into complex shapes at a cost that is relatively low. The
flexibility of the product offers the designers with extensive latitude while designing new
products.
