MILTON, ON — Architects, designers, specifiers, contractors and building owners now have a new, innovative and high-performance option when it comes to insulation for open-joint cladding systems. ROCKWOOL has launched Cavityrock® Black,a dual-density insulation board designed to mask the insulation layer with a bonded fleece facing to create a crisp, dark aesthetic in open-joint facades. Cavityrock® Black also offers the same thermal performance, fire resistance, and moisture control of ROCKWOOL Cavityrock® insulation.
"Cavityrock® Black is an innovative solution," said Garrett Feehrer, marketing manager of ROCKWOOL North America. "It eliminates the need for a separate masking layer that can add extra time, materials and cost to an installation, yet it achieves the same crisp look. In architecture, quite simply, aesthetics matter.Cavityrock® Black insulation addresses the need for a dark reveal behind open-jointed cladding systems, while still providing a diverse array of performance advantages in exterior wall and rainscreen applications."
