Vinay Singh, BU Director for India and SAARC at ROXUL ROCKWOOL, talks about the rising need for sustainable roofing goods and solutions and emphasises the energy-efficient features of stonewool insulation and its uses.

What are the latest roofing and insulation advancements?

For a long time, the main function of a roof was to provide a covering for your home and protect you from external factors. However, over the years, roofing systems have undergone lots of transformation, and today there are many extended functions like aesthetics, acoustics, fire resistance, and energy efficiency that are expected from the roof system.

We have been focusing on strengthening our technological capabilities to lead the way for future innovations and safeguard our dominance in the market.

We are able to cater to these advanced performance demands with our high-performing, innovative insulation products like Cool ‘n’ Comfort for underdeck roofing systems and Hardrock for overdeck roofing systems.

How is the roofing industry progressing in terms of sustainability?

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Rock is one of the earth’s most abundant and sustainable resources, and it’s our belief that the clever use of this rich material can help save other unsustainable materials from being depleted before it’s too late.

By installing insulation sourced from innovative stone wool, you reduce the amount of energy that needs to be used to heat buildings—and save money on energy bills too.

What are the impacts of fluctuating prices on project quality and durability?

Heating and cooling activities in buildings account for 35–60 percent of total energy demand around the world, and it’s high time that we, as responsible individuals, instead of looking at insulation as a cost, start looking at it as an opportunity to control the quality of the build and its longevity.

by focusing on construction materials that are durable, safe, and contribute to energy savings. Insulated roof systems offer excellent insulation and load-bearing capabilities, and due to their flexibility, they may also save construction time.

Customers today want to see great design, sustainable thinking, and energy efficiency. In fact, research shows that a majority of customers are willing to pay a premium for achieving a sustainable structure.

How are increasing construction and infrastructure boosting the demand for sustainable designs in roofing and insulation?

According to the latest research analysis by Global Market Insights Inc., the insulation market is expected to reach USD 95 billion by 2030.

The main reasons are the considerable expansion of the construction sector globally along with improvements in household incomes across developed economies, which together have pushed the demand for sustainable infrastructure and in the process created a demand for insulation products.

Growing concern about the environmental impact has prompted people and governments to take strategic steps to ensure that future structures are climate-smart and sustainable.

What are the challenges in matching the cost differences while catering to the sustainable and long-lasting demand for your products and service offerings?

The savings homes or businesses stand to make by reducing energy bills can more than makeup for the costs of roof insulation.

In terms of money that can be saved, energy use, and reducing the carbon footprint, installing roofing insulation is well worth the investment.
