Open House Tallinn 2024 partner ROCKWOOL responded to our questions and reflected on urban spaces and accessibility.
In Your opinion, what makes a people-friendly urban space? How can we create such spaces ourselves?
We typically associate people-friendly environments with comfort. In modern life, these comforts often include strong internet coverage, easily accessible power outlets or charging stations, and places to sit and dine. However, we almost never think about what’s inside the walls. The contents of the walls provide us with better communication because the acoustic properties of the spaces help enhance interaction. The wall materials give us a sense of security and protection from fire, so we don’t have to worry and can enjoy our time. They create the perfect indoor conditions, preventing illnesses caused by cold, heat, or potential mold, as the walls “breathe” and prevent mold and mildew from forming. Therefore, when creating your environment, always think not just about what is visible, but also what is hidden. Experience the comfort that functional materials provide. Experience the comfort offered by ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation.
What is an interesting fact about Your product that many people don’t know?
Did you know that ROCKWOOL insulation products save 100 times more energy over their lifetime than is used to produce them?
This year, Open House Tallinn focuses on inclusivity and accessibility. How do You contribute to inclusivity and accessibility yourself?
Since we spend 90 percent of our time indoors, the insulation created by ROCKWOOL helps maintain optimal indoor climate conditions in both winter and summer. In addition to its primary insulation function, ROCKWOOL stone wool stands out from other insulation materials by providing acoustic, fire-resistant, and moisture-resistant properties, which enhance the inclusivity and accessibility of buildings.
Thank you!

ROCKWOOL products are a part of Tallinn’s architectural landscape and are perfectly suited for all types of buildings, regardless of age or purpose. Educational institutions such as MUBA, MURG, and PERG have chosen ROCKWOOL products for their buildings to ensure a great learning environment for students. Did you know that, due to noise, students in classrooms miss up to one-third of what teachers say?
ROCKWOOL insulation materials are unique in that they not only offer thermal properties but also provide excellent sound insulation and fire safety for buildings. In the modern world, people spend up to 90% of their time inside buildings, making comfort in these spaces essential. Buildings must not only meet people’s architectural needs or blend with the environment but also conserve nature.
ROCKWOOL’s sustainability is reflected in their products and mission. They create products that conserve nature and provide comfort. ROCKWOOL products are made from a natural and the most abundant mineral on Earth—stone, which will never run out. Our products, mostly invisible, ensure comfort and a cleaner environment.
Whether it’s meeting building standards through emission reductions or improving infrastructure while using fewer resources, ROCKWOOL ensures a better life for future generations. At the same time, their products create additional jobs in society and enable climate change goals to be achieved without exhausting natural resources.
