PermaRock High Rise Mineral Fibre External Wall Insulation Systems (HR)
Last verified by manufacturer over a year ago
BRE Certificate
Certificate type
Non-combustible , high-performance mineral fibre external wall insulation system for high rise buildings.
Application
Suited for application to the walls and soffits of all building types including residential buildings, hospitals, hotels, schools, and public buildings where the highest levels of fire resistance and non-combustibility are required.
Description
Non-combustible (fire-safe), high-performance mineral fibre external wall insulation (EWI) system for high rise buildings. Euroclass A2-s1,d0 (EN 13501-1: 2007+A1: 2009), compliant with BR135 (tested to BS 8414).
Suitable for use above damp-proof course (DPC) level on buildings.
PermaRock Mineral Fibre external wall insulation (EWI) systems are fire-safe, high performance thermal insulation systems that are versatile.
Systems have been tested to BS 8414 and meet the requirements of BR 135 - ‘Fire performance of external thermal insulation for walls of multi-storey buildings’. The systems also achieve a 'Class O' classification under the Building Regulations Part B for fire-spread across the surface.
Features and benefits:
- Suitable for buildings with storey height above 18 m.
- Excellent fire performance: Non-combustible (Class A1) mineral (stone) fibre insulation - Fire breaks not required.
- A2-s1,d0 reaction to fire classification (EN 13501-1: 2007+A1: 2009).
- Fire tested in accordance with BS 8414 - compliant with BR 135; can be used on buildings over 18 m.
- Adhesively bonded and mechanically fixed insulation which is resistant to wind loads.
- Mechanically anchored reinforcement layer: Provides enhanced resistance to wind loading and additional structural stability in fire.
- Low embodied energy.
- Thermal conductivity: 0.036–0.039 W/m·K (depending on insulation specified).
- BRE Global Certification 158/12.
- Ecopoints score of 0.10 (m²) - 'Excellent' rating.
- For specific use in high rise and multi-storey buildings.
- Acoustic benefit over other insulant types.
- Has a working design life of 30 years.
Design considerations:
- Thermal calculations can be carried out for each project to help to determine the thickness of insulation required to achieve U-value requirements.
- For high rise buildings, wind load assessment should be made of the elevations and the wind load resistance requirements should be provided to the manufacturer to enable an optimised fixing arrangement to be provided.
- Consult the manufacturer should the proposed design incorporate any unique design elements, architectural features or curved elevations.
