Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs

For masonry cavity walls

Performance

Thermal

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs have thermal conductivities ranging from 0.032 to 0.037 W/mK.

Fire

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs are classified as Euroclass A1 to BS EN 13501-1.

Description

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs are semi-rigid slabs of non-combustible, water repellent, glass mineral wool. They are 455mm wide to suit standard vertical wall tie spacings, ensuring a closed joint with adjacent slabs.

Tabbed content

Benefits
  • Non-combustible
  • British Board of Agrément approved for use in all exposure zones
  • Excellent thermal and fire performance
  • Water repellent
  • Slabs ‘knit’ together, thus eliminating air gaps between adjacent slabs
Application

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs are for the thermal insulation of masonry cavity external walls and are installed to fully fill the cavity. They are approved for use in buildings up to 12m high in any exposure zone and for use in multi-storey applications up to 25m in height.

Environmental

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs represent no known threat to the environment and have zero Ozone Depletion Potential and zero Global Warming Potential.

ECOSE® Technology

Knauf Insulation mineral wool products with ECOSE® Technology benefit from a no added formaldehyde binder, which is up to 70% less energy intensive than traditional binders and is made from rapidly renewable bio-based materials instead of petroleum-based chemicals.

The technology has been developed for Knauf Insulation’s glass and rock mineral wool products, enhancing their environmental credentials without affecting the thermal, acoustic or fire performance. Insulation products made with ECOSE Technology contain no dye or artificial colours.

 

Additional

Standards

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs are manufactured in accordance with BS EN 13162, ISO 50001 Energy Management Systems, OHSAS 18001 Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems, ISO 14001 Environmental Management Systems, and ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems, as certified by Bureau Veritas.

Durability

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs are odourless, rot proof, non-hygroscopic, do not sustain vermin and will not encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria.

Moisture resistance

Tests by the British Board of Agrément confirm that Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs will not transmit water to the inner leaf. Nor will they transmit moisture by capillary action across the cavity or from below damp proof course level.

Vapour resistivity

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs offer negligible resistance to the passage of water vapour and have a water vapour resistivity of 5.00MNs/g.m.

Certification

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs are certified by British Board of Agrément Certificate 95/3212. Approval can be sought from Knauf Insulation Ltd and the British Board of Agrément for Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slab’s use in buildings over 25m high.

Handling and storage

Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs are easy to handle and install, being lightweight and easily cut to size, where necessary. They are supplied in polythene packs which are designed for short term protection only. For longer term protection on site, the product should either be stored indoors, or under cover and off the ground. Earthwool DriTherm Cavity Slabs should not be left permanently exposed to the elements.

All dimensions are nominal

*The 50mm and 65mm DriTherm 37 products are manufactured to 0.035W/m²K and 0.036W/m²K lambda respectively. This higher specification allows the thinner 50mm and 65mm materials to achieve a robustness normally associated with thicker materials and so allows for easier installation.
