Rockwool vs MGO Rockwool Panel
Rockwool vs MGO rockwool panel comparison: rockwool-core panels compared with MGO rockwool panels in general terms only; no MGO rockwool detail page is offered here.
- Comparison only: this page compares rockwool panels with MGO rockwool panels; it does not offer a MGO rockwool detail page.
- Company description of MGO rockwool: a hollow magnesium board filled with rockwool, giving stronger fire and sound performance, for projects with higher fire and sound requirements.
- Rockwool panels on this site: handmade Type 50 and machine-made 1150 type, for interior walls and ceilings.
What the comparison is, and what it is not
This page compares two panel families in general terms. On one side are the rockwool panels detailed on this site: the handmade Type 50 panel and the machine-made 1150 type panel, both with a rockwool core between metal facings. On the other side is the MGO rockwool family, described in the company materials as a hollow magnesium board filled with rockwool, giving stronger fire and sound performance and suiting projects with higher fire and sound requirements. That description is the full extent of the MGO rockwool treatment on this site. No MGO rockwool thickness table, density table, joint table or detail page is offered here, because the MGO rockwool detail belongs to a different specialist scope and is not duplicated here.
How to choose between them in an inquiry
Start with the room brief, not with the panel name. If the brief is a standard cleanroom wall or ceiling with fire, sound and heat insulation requirements, the rockwool panels on this site are the starting point, specified by route, thickness, density and joint. If the brief states higher fire and sound requirements than a standard rockwool wall, name those requirements explicitly and ask whether a MGO rockwool variant should be considered, and what its specification and documentation would be for that exact area. Do not assume that a MGO rockwool panel uses the same thickness set or joint as a rockwool panel, because this site does not state those values for MGO rockwool panels.
The parallel comparison guide in the guides section explains the same distinction in article form. Before ordering, confirm the minimum order quantity and the lead time in your inquiry.
