Protect performance with Rocksilk® RainScreen Slab EE
Share
A UK-first, Rocksilk® RainScreen Slab EE is a non-combustible rainscreen sheathing insulation slab with an enhanced water-repellent facing. The facing reduces the risk of water damage when the insulation is left exposed to preserve the intended thermal, fire and acoustic performance of the building.
Best practice for installing insulation in rainscreen façades is to use a ‘rolling front’, but a survey of façade contractors by Knauf Insulation suggests that this is only achieved in approximately 50% of projects. If insulation is left exposed to the elements for too long during construction, it could be damaged, and its performance compromised.
Rocksilk® RainScreen Slab EE has been extensively tested to deliver proven performance. It is non-combustible, with a Euroclass A2-s1,d0 reaction to fire classification and the black facing provides an aesthetic solution for behind perforated façades.
To further simplify specification and support compliance, Rocksilk® RainScreen Slab EE has been added to the new Rocksilk® RainScreen Cavity Systems range, launched earlier this year. Specifiers will be able to meet challenging fire safety requirements with a complete, tested system that includes the sheathing insulation, fixings and cavity barriers.
