Technical datasheet NyRock® RainScreen 032 Version 1.03 September 2023 NyRock® RainScreen 032 Low lambda non-combustible stone wool insulation for ventilated facades NyRock RainScreen 032 is a stone wool insulation product specifically developed for use within ventilated cladding systems, as well as sealed systems such as curtain walling. Manufactured using patented technology, NyRock RainScreen 032 has a more efficient fibre structure that increases the density of air pockets trapped within each slab. This results in an improved thermal performance when compared to traditional stone wool products. Once installed, the product’s high density works in combination with a factoryapplied water repelling agent to give improved resistance to rain ingress during construction. The product can be easily fitted around brackets and other awkward details, and when tightly butted, adjacent slabs effectively ‘knit’ together to provide a continuous insulating layer, reducing heat losses that would otherwise be caused by gaps. For optimum thermal performance in framed structures, combine NyRock RainScreen Slab 032 with NyRock Frame Slab 032. • Independently tested acoustic benefits Water repellent yet breathable Stone wool is dimensionally stable and has been proven to provide the same performance for more than 55 years after installation.* Can be recycled and reprocessed, reducing landfill costs, with zero ODP and GWP. Low lambda non-combustible insulation for use within facade systems. NyRock RainScreen Slab 032 is manufactured using patented NyRock technology for low lambda performance. In addition to thermal comfort, NyRock RainScreen Slab provides independently-tested acoustic benefits. *FIW, Durability Project Mineral Wool (2016), “Conclusions and Outlook.” Available via EURIMA (European Insulation Manufacturers Association) at https://www.eurima.org/uploads/ModuleXtender/Publications/168/2017-02-21_EURIMA-55YearsOfUse_Info_Sheet_V08_final.pdf For more information visit rockwool.com/uk

NyRock RainScreen 032 PERFORMANCE Thermal performance Thermal conductivity = 0.032 W/mK Acoustic performance As demonstrated by independent in-situ laboratory testing, NyRock RainScreen 032 helps to reduce the transfer of airborne noise - with results for typical systems as high as Rw 60 dB. Fire performance Rated Euroclass A1 when assessed to EN 13501-1 using test data from reaction-to-fire tests. Water resistance ROCKWOOL stone wool repels liquid water due to its fibre orientation and the presence of water-repellent additives. Condensation control The vapour resistivity of ROCKWOOL...

Slabs should be close-butted at all vertical and horizontal joints. The horizontal joints of the insulation should be staggered in accordance with good practice. Fixings should have a minimum head diameter of 70 mm. A typical fixing pattern has three fixings per square metre with one metal fixing at the centre of every slab (see Figure 1). The product should be cut and tightly fitted around cladding support elements. For a typical installation, a breathable membrane is placed between the sheathing board and the product (see Figures 1 and 2). A VCL is placed between the plasterboard and the...

NyRock RainScreen 032 For use on steel frame or timber frame with a brick outer leaf. • The slabs should be close-butted at all vertical and horizontal joints, and at corners. The horizontal joints of the slabs should be staggered, in accordance with good practice. Slabs should be carefully cut to fit around any protrusions into the cavity. A VCL is placed between the plasterboard and the frame. A breathable membrane is placed between the sheathing board and the product—see Figure 1. The insulation should be installed to coincide with the frame, with retaining discs used in conjunction with...
