APPLICATION OVERVIEW
Rainscreen Façade Systems are lightweight when compared to brick and masonry solutions and can provide the designer with a wide range of aesthetic options.
In addition to thermal performance, fire performance of insulation materials is a crucial consideration, particularly when designing buildings in accordance with Building Regulations or when the building is to have high occupancy levels or be used by vulnerable occupants.
Our Mineral Wool insulation solutions provide the required thermal and fire performance and can be installed on buildings of any height.
