California’s state building code, Title 24, includes strict fire code requirements to address the vulnerability of buildings near wildfire-prone areas. Get the details you need on updates to this code and how ROCKWOOL insulation products and technical services can help.

ROCKWOOL provides project-specific LEED certificates for submission purposes. A range of stone wool thermal insulation products can be used to achieve the minimum energy performance and optimized energy performance credits. Use this guide to get started on your next submittal.

Our guide fills you in on the principles of the Passive House standard and its requirements while also providing numerous construction details for mass wall and steel-framed wall assemblies incorporating our stone wool insulation products.

ROCKWOOL Comfortboard® 110 has been tested in accordance with ASTM E84 to be listed as insulation for wall assemblies complying with the California Building Code and is therefore certified by the California State Fire Marshall's Building Materials Listing Program (BML).

Stucco is often installed directly over concrete masonry units (CMU’s) that are insulated on the interior. In cold climates the concern is interior vapor migrating outward. In hot-humid, mixed-humid and warm marine climates the concern is exterior vapor migrating inward.

Rigid foam insulation products (EPS, XPS and ISO) are dimensionally affected with changes in temperature. Stone wool insulation, on the other hand, has negligible expansion and contraction when compared to these other insulation types.

This technical note applies to movement joints between the support structure and the superstructure, especially at floors.

The UL GREENGUARD Certification Program is a standardized method for evaluating the Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions of a product, including building materials.

CDPH Standard Method v1.2-2017 is widely referenced by green building standards and sustainable materials frameworks to demonstrate compliance with VOC emissions limits. Although not designed for interior use, several ROCKWOOL products designed for exterior wall applications have been evaluated and comply with the CDPH Standard Method v1.2- 2017, Section 4, for specified scenarios.
