Form and Dimensions

Handling and Storage
Rocksilk RainScreen Slab is supplied in polythene packs.
Application
Rocksilk RainScreen Slab is used for the thermal insulation of rainscreen cladding systems.

Rainscreen cladding systems comprise outer cladding panels that are bolted to a supporting framework of rails, which are supported by cleats fixed back to the building structure. A layer of insulation is fixed independently against the building substructure using proprietary insulation fasteners. An airspace separates the insulation from the outer cladding panels. This allows wind driven rain to run down the back of the rainscreen panels without penetrating the insulation.

Rocksilk RainScreen Slab is recommended for this application, as it is lightweight but rigid enough to resist the compression forces generated when installing the insulation slabs to the masonry substrate. The water repellent additive in Rocksilk RainScreen Slab also provides a further line of defence against rain penetration of the external wall.
Installation
For detailes installation instructions please refer to the separate Knauf Insulation brochure ”Masonry Solid and Curtain Walls - Non-Residential” Ref: B/NR/XW/3.
