SteelTherm Roll

For the thermal insulation of external walls in steel frame construction.

Description

SteelTherm Roll consists of a resilient, non-combustible glass mineral wool roll and has a thermal conductivity of 0.040 W/mK.

SteelTherm Roll is manufactured in 600mm widths and is specifically designed for friction fitting between standard steel frame sections.

Application

SteelTherm Roll is designed for the thermal insulation of external walls in steel frame construction.

SteelTherm Roll is friction fitted between studs and is 600mm wide to suit commonly used stud centres.

Standards

SteelTherm Roll is a non-combustible inorganic glass wool, defined as mineral wool in BS 3533: 1981 and are manufactured in accordance with BSI Quality Assurance Standard BS EN ISO 9001: 2000

Vapour resistance and condensation

SteelTherm Roll offers negligible resistance to the passage of water vapour and has a vapour resistivity of 7.00 MN.s.g.m.

Handling and Storage

SteelTherm Roll is easy to handle and install, being lightweight and easily cut to size.

It is 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. Installation instructions are on every pack.

SteelTherm Roll should not be left permanently exposed to the elements.

Environmental

ECOSE^® Technology

Knauf Insulation mineral wool products with ECOSE^® Technology benefit from a revolutionary, bio-based, formaldehyde-free binder technology, based on rapidly renewable materials, instead of petro-based chemicals. It reduces embodied energy and delivers superior environmental sustainability.

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 – the colour is completely natural.

SteelTherm Roll is free from CFCs, HCFCs and any other material with ozone depletion potential in their manufacture and content and represents no known threat to the environment.

SteelTherm Roll's manufacture has a low impact on the environment and is classified as Zero ODP and Zero GWP.

Durability

SteelTherm Roll is rot proof, does not sustain vermin and will not encourage the growth of fungi, mould or bacteria. SteelTherm Roll is odourless and non-hygroscopic.
