Real performance:

Glass and Rock Mineral Wool are easier to install correctly than other insulants such as rigid boards because they adapt to any slight imperfections in the substrate and knit together, eliminating any air gaps. Evidence shows the absence of air gaps is crucial to achieving real performance in the relevant application.

Environmental:

Rocksilk® Flat Roof Slabs contain no ozone-depleting substances or greenhouse gases. For further environmental information consult the relevant Environmental Product Declaration, available on our website.

Moisture:

The physical and chemical characteristics of the fibres are unaltered by wetting. Therefore the thermal properties of Rocksilk® RainScreen Slab are not affected by exposure to moisture and the product will perform as expected once dry.
