“Rockassist” Calculation Program to the Rescue!

Innovative Solutions for Easy Insulation Application

Once we have decided to add insulation to our home and make it more energy efficient and more comfortable to live in, we have faced more than one dilemma regarding the insulation material, required thickness, positioning and much more. This goes for not only non-professionals that have decided to implement a DIY project, but also professional insulation installers that are expected to have all relevant information so they provide required service.

These actions and measurements that precede the very installation process can take a lot of time and lead to additional costs, why it is good that people from Rockwool insulation have taken this issue seriously and have created Rockassist, an insulation calculation program which helps you determine which type of insulation would be most appropriate and which thickness of insulation would be optimal, depending on the entered values including operating and permissible surface temperature, shape of the object etc. The newly developed online program enables a few quite useful options, including the new QuickCheck which provides recommendation of the insulation material and its thickness in a matter of seconds, based on the previously entered information which will be taken into account by the program and show the result. This option is perfect whenever quick, on site information is required.

On the other hand, the program also provides Detailed Calculation option (and five more similar programs) which is especially designed for experienced insulation installers and includes entering detailed information manually which means that it requires more time but is also provides more detailed insulation options tailored to the specified individual requirements. Rockwool has already provided free technical support and guidance for all those that are new at using the program, thus providing all relevant information that should make its usage simpler.

Another great advantage of Rockassist is that it is a web based program that can follow you wherever you go and does not require free space on your computer, but can also be accessed via tablet or smartphone. The available results show a lot of quite useful information regarding note only insulation thickness but also potential savings and harmful emissions reductions. The results are displayed in PDF format, either through a table or graphically through a curve that can make you easily assess the cost effectiveness of the chose insulation option. Namely, the program enables you to compare the results of minimal required insulation thickness and increased thickness that could provide a more feasible solution and still fit into your budget.
