Rockwool NyRock Rainscreen 032 Stone Wool Cladding Insulation

Designed specifically for use within sealed systems like curtain walling as well as ventilated cladding systems, this NyRock® Rainscreen 032 is a type of stone wool insulation that utilises patented technology to enhance its performance. The highly efficient fibre structure of the slabs boosts the density of trapped air pockets, resulting in superior thermal insulation compared to traditional stone wool products.

Once installed, this NyRock® Rainscreen insulation effectively resists water ingress during construction due to its high density and the application of a water-repellent agent. The slabs are simple to fit around awkward details such as brackets and when securely pushed next to each other, they ‘knit’ seamlessly to form a continuous insulating layer that minimises heat loss by closing any gaps.
