The 90mm Rockwool External Wall Dual Density Slab combines precision engineering with proven performance for external wall applications. These 90mm external wall insulation boards showcase dual density construction with two distinct wool layers of varying density: a lower density core for accommodating minor substrate imperfections, and a high-density outer layer ideal for render application. Installation requires mechanical fixings combined with quality adhesive—a minimum of 7 fixings per square metre ensures secure attachment.
Application
Install 90mm Rockwool Mineral Wool insulation slabs following manufacturer guidelines for design and installation specifics. Achieve optimal adhesion by combining mortar or adhesive with mechanical fixings for substrate attachment.
Given mineral wool's substantial weight, the EWI-225 Premium Basecoat is recommended over standard adhesives for lighter materials. Apply a thin primer coat to the prepared substrate, allow drying, then apply the basecoat and embed the Fibreglass Mesh.
Non-combustible
90mm Rockwool stone wool achieves the highest A1 rating in European fire classification, meaning it will not ignite or contribute to flame spread.
Durable
- 90mm Rockwool DD slabs maintain dimensional stability throughout the building's lifespan, resisting shrinkage or degradation.
- The dense outer surface enables secure basecoat application and prevents overdriven fixings.
- Demonstrates high resistance to wind and rain exposure during construction.
- Proven track record: 90mm Rockwool has performed reliably in EWI systems across Europe for over 40 years.
Breathable
- 90mm Rockwool stone wool features an open-cell structure that permits water vapour transmission, whilst water-repellent fibres prevent moisture ingress.
- Provides vapour resistance equivalent to still air.
Edge-to-edge installation allows fibres to interlock effectively, eliminating heat losses through gaps in the insulation layer.
- EWI systems using 90mm Rockwool slabs increase building envelope mass, reducing sound and vibration transmission.
- The fibrous material aids sound absorption, with testing showing up to 8 dB improvement in weighted sound reduction, Rw (dependent on substrate).
Dual Density Slabs for External Walls
- Purpose-designed for external wall insulation systems, Dual Density Slabs deliver stone wool insulation excellence.
- Manufactured using ROCKWOOL's patented dual density process, these slabs feature a higher density outer layer compared to the inner core. This creates a robust surface for render and fixture attachment, whilst the flexible underside adapts to substrate variations.
- The top layer is clearly marked 'THIS SIDE UP' for straightforward installation and correct orientation.
