Company building DEUTSCHE ROCKWOOL GmbH & Co. KG

Looking towards the future

Old-established in Gladbeck, the headquarters of the insulation manufacturer and world market leader ROCKWOOL shines in new splendour: In shades of white and blue-grey, the old-fashioned look of the office building, which was built in 1974, is now saying farewell and giving way to a modern, straightforward appearance.

The focus of the building concept, however, is sustainability and meets what the ROCKWOOL brand has stood for over many years: an improvement in energy efficiency in buildings and industry.

The refurbishment reduces the primary energy demand by a whole 80 percent, and the extension of the building provides an additional 435 square metres of office space for one of Gladbeck's largest employers. A concept that was awarded gold by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

The cladding of the new level was realised with RHEINZINK tiles in prePATINA blue-grey.

A modern solution with a view to the future in the densely populated Ruhr region!
