The Timber Frame Slab and Steel Frame Slab stone wool solutions are specifically designed to help developers take advantage of the many performance characteristics associated with ROCKWOOL noncombustible insulation, alongside a quick-to-install, durable and sustainable solution that’s perfect for offsite and on-site construction.
The ROCKWOOL Timber and Steel Frame Slabs have been designed to provide the best of all worlds, moving beyond insulation products that address only the thermal requirements of a building. Both products are produced using new high-speed spinning techniques to provide a low lambda as well as a low product weight, enabling builders to achieve U-values while benefiting from insulation slabs that are easy to handle and install.
ROCKWOOL Frame Slab is designed for fast, high quality wall and floor installation. ROCKWOOL has designed the range to offer enhanced thermal performance of 0.034 w/mK at optimal density which can meet or exceed the requirements (thermal) of Part L of the Building Regulations. The Frame Slab insulation is also a Euroclass A1 Fire Rated (non-combustible) product. This ensures exceptional fire safety performance both during construction and when the property is occupied.
With its dense, non-directional fibre structure, ROCKWOOL’s Frame Slab will provide excellent sound insulation performance. It effectively traps sound waves and dampens vibration, reducing external noise as well as acoustic intrusion from between rooms within the same property as well as from outside.
ROCKWOOL Frame Slabs are an engineered density product designed to provide a tight friction fit which minimises waste as well as speeding up the installation process. Available in widths specifically to fit into framed constructions to reduce the need for cutting – 600mm for steel frame and 570mm for timber – the slabs will friction fit into standard 600mm frames with no gaps. As ROCKWOOL Frame Slab is manufactured from stone, any waste can be collected and 100% recycled by ROCKWOOL to offset the cost of landfill and help offsite housebuilders enhance their sustainability credentials.
