Universal Slab

For use in a wide range of insulation applications

Description

Universal Slabs are a range of semi-rigid to rigid, non-combustible, unfaced glass mineral wool slabs. They can be supplied with a bright class ‘O’ facing and in a range of densities from 24 to 48 kg/m³.

Application

Universal Slabs are general purpose slabs for thermal and acoustic insulation. They are used in a wide range of applications.

Standards

Universal Slabs are a noncombustible 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.

Durability

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

Vapour resistance

Universal Slabs offer virtually no vapour resistance, allowing water vapour to pass freely through the slab.

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.
