The single-density rock wool insulation panel, Rockfacade, is designed for external insulation beneath cladding with a ventilated air gap. It is also suitable for timber frame constructions (COB), addressing the requirements for thermal comfort in both summer and winter, acoustic comfort, fire resilience, and performance in relation to water and humidity.
Benefits for Project Owners
Whether for new construction or renovation, using rock wool insulation beneath cladding offers numerous advantages:
- Durability: Ensures long-lasting performance.
- Energy Efficiency: Helps reduce energy costs.
- Low Maintenance Costs: Offers cost savings over time.
- Design Flexibility: A wide selection of cladding allows for a personalized aesthetic appearance of the facade.
- Water Resistance: Protects the facade and structure in the long term, maintaining soundness.
- Fire Protection: Rock wool is non-combustible, enhancing safety.
Advantages for Installers
- Lightweight and Easy to Handle: Simplifies installation processes.
- Durable and Non-Deforming: Retains its properties for decades without deterioration.
- Quick Installation: Saves time on-site due to efficient setup.
- Fewer Fixings Required: Typically requires only two fixings per panel, leading to cost savings and reduced installation time.
- Versatile Installation Options: May be installed without an air gap drip edge, using a metal frame and A1 or A2 type cladding, resulting in reduced thickness, lower costs, and a more aesthetically pleasing finish.
