What is Rockwall™?
Rockwall™ fire-rated wall panels consist of a unique Rockwool mineral fibre core called ‘Conrock‘ with laminated sheet steel permanently bonded to both sides. Once Rockwall™ panels have been installed according to the specific Intertek/Warnock Hersey certification guidelines, the assembly provides 1, 2 and 3 hours of fire resistance with a 4”, 5” and 6” core thickness (respectively).
Once secured in place, a finished Rockwall™ building, ceiling or partition wall also provides a strong and reliable thermal performance system. Structural Panels Inc. offers support, manuals and guidance to anyone looking to work with Rockwall™ panels. Rockwall™ panels can also help reduce insurance costs, protect against loss of business, and even save lives.
Rockwall™ fire-rated wall panels are energy efficient and feature an aesthetic profile that will look good for years to come. From fire barriers to large commercial buildings, soffits to demising walls, ceilings to partitions, Rockwall™ panels provide the ideal energy-efficient and economical continuous insulation solution for any building project where both fire resistance and thermal control are required.

Benefits of Rockwall™ Fire Rated Wall Panels:
Easy To Clean
Our wall panels are easy to clean and don’t support mold in the first place.
Class-A Fire Rating
Rockwall™ is a critical line of defense in fire protection: passive fire protection up to 3 hours. With a non-combustible core and no sprinklers required.
Built To Last
Once installed the panels are maintenance-free and have long building lifecycles.
Clean and Safe
The panels have CFIA acceptance for sanitary room requirements.
Easy To Install
Installation process can cut construction costs in half. We offer custom fabricated wall and ceiling building solutions in lengths of any transportable length.
Hygienic
Rockwall™ panels meet the strict sanitation standards set by the CFIA and are resistant to mold and mildew.
Sustainable
Rockwall™ mineral wool core is made from natural basalt rock and recycled slag providing a lighter environmental footprint and LEED point credits that contribute to sustainable development.
Cost Savings
The panels have a high thermal barrier with vapour resistance resulting in significant energy saving R-value (R4 per inch) for consistent thermal performance and thermal envelope. Energy cost savings of as much as 30% over traditional multi-part building systems.
Chemical Resistance
Our plastic panels are inert to most mineral acids, bases, salts & paraffin-hydrocarbon solutions.

Rockwall™ Product Superiority
Superior materials and manufacturing
Rockwall™ is a stressed-skin sandwich panel with metal facings permanently bonded to the mineral wool core of Rockwool Conrock® with a heat polymerizing adhesive. The panels are produced in a continuous in-line method for optimum uniformity and quality. The steel top and bottom are 26 gauge pre-painted silicone-polyester finish and profiled galvanized steel facings that are roll-formed and bonded continuously with thermosetting adhesive to mineral fiber insulation.
Strong and moisture resistant
The core material is cut into lamella strips with perpendicular fiber orientation that provides additional strength, dimensional stability, and moisture resistance.
Easy to Install
A tongue and groove interlocking edge are designed in both the core and the metal facing, producing an easy-to-install joint that is water-tight. An optional sealant can be applied during installation. Panels are 46 inches wide, and custom lengths are cut up to 32 feet.
Rockwall™ and Isowall® panels have the same profile edge and facings so they can be seamlessly integrated for architectural agreement.
