KNAUF INSULATION LAUNCHES RAINSCREEN CLADDING SYSTEMS CPD MODULE
Knauf Insulation has recently launched an ‘Introduction
to Rainscreen Cadding Systems’ CPD module. It explains the core
issues surrounding rainscreen cladding systems, compares the
suitability of insulation materials and looks at
how the choice of insulation affects the design of the
system, as well as thermal and fire performance.
Mounted on to the external walls of a building, lightweight
rainscreen cladding systems can be used to give new or existing
buildings an attractive and effective weatherproof finish.
Installation of the correct insulation product behind the
rainscreen cladding panels can provide systems with excellent
thermal, acoustic and fire resistant performance.
Especially relevant to building designers and specifiers, the
CPD module explains the principles of rainscreen cladding systems
and the regulations that apply to them. Crucially, it makes
specifiers aware of the different types of insulation and their
performance characteristics and provides them with an understanding
of the importance of fire resistance in rainscreen cladding
systems.
Dave Khan, Technical Marketing Manager from Knauf Insulation,
said: “Through the ‘Introduction to Rainscreen Cladding Systems’
CPD module, Knauf Insulation unreservedly offers the entire
industry a chance to benefit from their significant expertise and
knowledge.”
The “Introduction to Rainscreen Cladding Systems” CPD module can
be completed by attending a dedicated seminar or the module can be
accessed online via Knauf Insulation’s CPD Academy, on completion
of the online module, a CPD completion certificate can be
generated.
