Knauf Insulation has launched Rocksilk® RainScreen Slab EE, the UK’s first non-combustible rainscreen sheathing insulation 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.
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.
