Knauf Insulation is the UK’s leading provider of high-performance glass and rock mineral wool insulation solutions, with more than 40 years’ experience in the industry.
We offer a wide range of non-combustible insulation solutions for a wide variety of applications, including external masonry cavity walls. These include DriTherm ® Cavity Slabs and our full-fill glass mineral blowing wool range, Supafil®.
This year we’re excited to launch the industry’s first face-fixed cavity barrier.
Rocksilk® RainScreen FFCB (Face-fixed Cavity Barrier) is the first cavity barrier that can be fixed to the face of the insulation during construction, meaning the insulation doesn’t need to be cut post-installation. Designed following feedback from installers and contractors, Rocksilk® RainScreen FFCB is part of a certified system, comprising Rocksilk ® RainScreen Slab sheathing insulation for behind masonry façades and the fixings.
Rocksilk® RainScreen FFCB is non-combustible with the best possible Euroclass A1 reaction to fire classification, and the combined system provides fire resistance for up to 90 minutes insulation and integrity (EI90) in the residual cavities of buildings with masonry façades. It can also be used for both high and low-rise constructions, so is suitable for a broad range of projects.
