The Rocksilk RainScreen FFCB (Fixed-face Cavity Barrier) is the first cavity barrier that is fixed to the face of the insulation and built in to masonry fa\u00e7ades during constructio n<\/p>\n

The patented non-combustible solution is part of a certified system that provides fire resistance for up to 90 minutes insulation and integrity in the residual cavities of buildings with masonry fa\u00e7ades.<\/p>\n

Luke Davies, Product Manager \u2013 Rock Mineral Wool, at Knauf Insulation said: \u201cUnlike other products, our cavity barrier is fixed to the face of the insulation as the brickwork is built, so the insulation doesn\u2019t need to be cut post-installation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis means it\u2019s quicker and easier for brickwork contractors to install, reduces waste on site and gives architects reassurance that performance won\u2019t be compromised by the creation of unintentional air gaps during installation.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
