In construction, selecting the right materials for your project is crucial to ensuring safety, efficiency, and durability. KlasseROCK® Rainscreen Insulation is a new product from Klasse that stands out for its exceptional performance and numerous benefits. But what exactly is KlasseROCK? Let's delve into its features and advantages.
KlasseROCK is a stone mineral wool rainscreen insulation specifically designed to enhance the building envelope's performance. Engineered to meet the highest standards, KlasseROCK is ideal for modern construction needs, providing great efficiency, and durability. One of its most significant attributes is its Reaction to Fire classification; Euroclass A1 non-combustible, ensuring the highest level of fire safety and peace of mind. This classification means KlasseROCK is suitable for use in all buildings, regardless of height.
Manufactured from stone mineral wool, KlasseROCK has a higher melting point of over 1000°C. This characteristic provides longer periods of fire resistance compared to other conventional insulants like glass mineral wool. This improved fire resistance adds an extra layer of protection against the spread of fire, significantly contributing to the overall safety of any structure.
Thermal performance is another area where KlasseROCK excels. With a thermal conductivity of just 0.035 W/mK, it is a highly effective thermal insulator. This low thermal conductivity helps in reducing energy costs and enhancing indoor comfort by maintaining consistent temperatures throughout the building. Moreover, KlasseROCK's natural water-repellent properties and water-repellent additive ensure its effectiveness even in damp conditions, protecting the building from water ingress and potential damage.
Durability is a key consideration in construction materials, and the strong, rigid sheets of KlasseROCK maintain their integrity under pressure, resisting compression during installation and throughout the building's lifespan. This robustness ensures that the insulation performs optimally over time, providing long-term benefits.
In addition to its physical properties, KlasseROCK contributes to a healthier living environment. It is odourless and rot-proof, meaning it does not support the growth of harmful organisms such as fungi, mould, or bacteria. This quality is crucial in maintaining a clean and healthy indoor atmosphere, reducing potential health risks associated with poor air quality.
KlasseROCK Rainscreen Insulation is manufactured in accordance with EN 13162, ensuring it meets stringent quality and performance standards. Available in various densities ranging from 50 to 120 kg/m³ and thicknesses from 40 to 240 mm, KlasseROCK can be tailored to suit different project requirements. The standard board size of 1000 mm x 600 mm makes it easy to handle and install.
