HIGH-PERFORMANCE WALL SYSTEMS ROCKWOOL Comfortboard 80 TM Exterior non-structural insulated sheathing board used as continuous insulation in high-performance wall systems and more applications.
ROCKWOOL Exterior Wall Solutions TM ROCKWOOL Pushes the Building Envelope Forward As the building industry seeks new and innovative ways to save energy and create quieter and safer homes, ROCKWOOL leads the way with a multitude of exterior and interior insulation products designed to improve the performance of the building’s envelope. ROCKWOOL Comfortboard 80 is a rigid stone wool insulation board used as a non-structural sheathing product in residential and commercial construction.
Superior Building Envelope Performances Matt Risinger Takes Thermal Performance To A New Level As society demands more energy efficient buildings, codes and builders are responding by increasing the R-value of the building enclosure, in particular, the above-grade wall. Given that the cavity of the standard 2 x 6 wood frame wall used in low-rise housing is already filled with insulation, the clear path forward to higher R-values is to add layers of exterior insulation.
What Makes ROCKWOOL the Insulation of choice for many Architects & Builders? ROCKWOOL Stone Wool Outperforms Plastic Foams and Fiberglass Factors That Contribute to Superior Thermal Performance With informed consumers and the building industry pushing for innovative solutions that are truly energy efficient, ROCKWOOL raises the bar in developing wall systems with excellent long-term thermal performance.
ROCKWOOL Stone Wool: Fire-Resistant, Non-Combustible Insulation ROCKWOOL Stone Wool: Meeting the Demands for Higher R-Values of Tomorrow TM A key feature of ROCKWOOL insulation is fire resistance. Comfortboard 80 is classified as “noncombustible” as determined by ASTM E136 and CAN4-S114. It will not develop toxic smoke or promote flame spread, even when directly exposed to fire, as most other insulation materials do.
