ROCKWOOL Timber Frame Slab

A semi-rigid insulation designed specifically for use between the studwork of external timber frame walls. The slabs have been optimized to offer a low thermal conductivity, A1 fire resistance and outstanding sound absorption.

When building with timber, using non-combustible ROCKWOOL insulation can help to reduce the risk of fire, and fire spread, particularly during the more vulnerable construction phase. Classified to BS EN 13501-1, achieving the best possible Euroclass reaction to fire classification of A1, Timber Frame Slab acts as a barrier to fire, able to withstand temperatures over 1000°C and, importantly, does not produce toxic smoke.

ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation is also a highly effective thermal insulator, helping to keep the heat in, and the cold out. Timber Frame Slab has been tested to BS EN 13162, achieving a thermal conductivity of 0.034 W/mK, at a low product weight, to assist in handling and installation.

ROCKWOOL Timber Frame Slab has been tested to the requirements of BS EN 13162:2012+A1:2015 ‘Thermal insulation products for buildings – Factory made mineral wool (MW) products – specification.

Features and benefits:

• Thermal performance - low thermal conductivity of 0.034 W/mK.

• Non-combustible, non-toxic - Euroclass fire rating of A1.

• Excellent sound absorption - high density, stone wool fibres.

• Easy installation - 570 mm slab width for easy, no-waste fitting into 600 mm frames.

• Breathable - water repellent, and vapour permeable. Helps prevent rot and mould.

• Durable - no slumping or sagging, maintains performance over time

• Sustainability - produced from abundant, renewable volcanic rock. 97% recyclable.

Application:

Designed specifically for quick and easy installation into the standard size 600 mm (on centre) studs, of external timber frame walls. This means the insulation takes less time to install, is a more reliable and long-lasting fit, and that the performance does not diminish over the lifetime of the building.
