Rainscreen systems are designed to protect buildings whilst also offering design flexibility
through a wide range of cladding options. But at URSA, we’re focused on what’s on the inside. So much so, we’ve spent 70 years committed to developing insulation that generates a positive impact.
Now we have taken that commitment further, taking a more considered, ethical and responsible approach to everything we do – which includes the way we talk about our products, using CCPI assessment.
Code for Construction Product Information (CCPI) – was established by the Construction Product Association (CPA) following the Grenfell tragedy, to raise the standard of product information across the sector and making sure any claims are evidence-based and substantiated. According to their website, the CCPI’s aim is to make product information ‘clear, accurate, accessible, up-to-date and unambiguous’.
Although voluntary, we became early adopters of the Code, signing up earlier this year as a demonstration of our commitment to being a trusted and reliable provider of glass mineral wool insulation for use in rainscreen applications.
We are proud to announce that URSA WALLTEC BLACK 32, URSAPAN BLACK and URSAPAN, have now been assessed by CCPI – which means specifiers, system designers and specialist installers, can rely on the information provided in our marketing and literature, knowing it conforms to CCPI’s strict standards.
In addition, URSA WALLTEC BLACK 32 and URSAPAN BLACK are the ONLY glass mineral wool insulation products approved by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) for use as a sheathing insulation in rainscreen cladding façade and are deemed non-combustible with a fire classification of Euroclass A1 when tested to EN 13501-1:2018 Reaction to Fire. URSA WALLTEC BLACK 32 and URSAPAN BLACK are also CE marked and Declaration of Performances (DoPs) are available.
