ROCKWOOL has launched NyRock® Frame Slab 032 - the most thermally efficient stone wool insulation for external timber and steel frames in the UK.
NyRock Frame Slab 032 is a semi-rigid stone wool insulation slab designed specifically for fitting between the studwork of external timber or light gauge steel frame walls.
Manufactured using patented NyRock technology, NyRock Frame Slab 032 has a more efficient fibre structure than traditional stone wool products, resulting in a low thermal conductivity of 0.032 W/mK.
NyRock Frame Slab 032 can also withstand temperatures in excess of 1000°C, achieving the highest Euroclass A1 non-combustible reaction to fire classification and can be used in a variety of external timber or steel frame applications, including with a brick outer and with or without a service void.
NyRock Frame Slab 032 is available in 570mm widths for timber or 600mm for steel ensuring quick, easy friction fitting into frame walls. Its strong dimensional stability when fitted under compression also accommodates building movement, without slumping and sagging, or a loss in thermal performance[1].
This newest solution also provides water resistance plus, like all ROCKWOOL stone wool insulation, can be recycled indefinitely.
A further addition to the range is NyRock Rainscreen 032 for ventilated cladding systems.
