Non-combustible
• ROCKWOOL stone wool achieves the highest ‘A1 – Non-combustible’ rating under the European Reaction to Fire Classification System
• This means that it doesn’t burn and won’t contribute to any stage of a fire
Durable
• ROCKWOOL slabs are dimensionally stable and won’t shrink or degrade over the lifetime of the building
• The dense outer surface provides a solid face for base coat application, and helps to prevent overdriven fixings
• Offers a high resistance to wind and rain when exposed during installation
• Tried and tested: EWI providers across Europe have been using ROCKWOOL in their systems for over 40 years
Breathable
• The breathable open-cell structure of ROCKWOOL stone wool allows water vapour to pass through, while the randomly oriented water-repellent fibres work to prevent water ingress
• ROCKWOOL stone wool has a vapour resistance similar to that of still air
Thermal performance
• When tightly butt jointed, the fibres of adjacent slabs will effectively knit together
• This eliminates heat losses that would otherwise be caused by gaps between slabs
Acoustic performance
• EWI systems incorporating ROCKWOOL slabs can add significant mass to the building envelope, helping to limit the transfer of sound and vibration, while the fibrous nature of the product also helps to stop sound through absorption
• Test evidence demonstrates an improvement to the weighted sound reduction, Rw, of up to 8 dB (substrate-dependent)
