Cavityrock® semi-rigid insulation board designed for exterior cavity wall and rainscreen applications

ROCKWOOL Cavityrock® semi-rigid stone wool insulation board available in mono and dual density is designed for exterior cavity wall and rainscreen applications. Choose mono-density insulation in thicknesses up to 2” or dual-density in thicknesses of 2.5” to 6”.

Compatible with numerous cladding attachment systems, Cavityrock® is a durable solution with non-combustible characteristics meaning that the insulation will not develop toxic smoke or promote flame spread even when directly exposed to fire. Approved for use in many NFPA 285-compliant designs, it is an important component of fire-resilient exterior wall systems when used as a continuous insulation.

Cavityrock® also offers energy efficiency with reliable thermal performance, improved acoustic comfort, and is moisture resistant to maintain insulating value for the long-term.

Also available in a black mat facer finish for open-joint cladding systems, Cavityrock® Black combines your insulation install with masking in a single step, reducing installation time and material cost to achieve your desired design aesthetic.

Properties:

  • Non-combustible stone wool insulation with melting point of approximately 1177°C (2150°F)
  • Fire-resistant due to its high melting temperature
  • Water and moisture resistant; does not absorb moisture to maintain insulating value
  • Chemically inert
  • Does not rot or promote the growth of mildew, fungi or bacteria
  • CFC- and HCFC- free product and process
  • Made from natural and recycled materials
  • ROCKWOOL® can contribute to earning LEED® points
