CLADDING ROLL
High performance industrial insulation
CLADDING ROLL
CLADDING ROLL
ROCKWOOL Cladding Roll is a
lightweight, flexible mat which delivers
a combination of thermal insulation, fire
resistance, and acoustic absorption.
Cladding Roll has been specifically
developed for use as an economical
solution for projects that require
dimensionally stable, consistent
performance within lightweight cladding
in commercial and industrial framed
buildings.

insulation and the outer sheets.
Please note: The Rw figure will alter with the profile and
construction.
Thermal performance
Due to the complexity of the design issues within the Part
L document there is no single fabric solution for individual
elements for new build constructions.
However, minimum elemental fabric performance standards
have been set for extensions and refurbishment work.

Cladding systems require a complex calculation method using
three dimensional modelling, hence thickness range shown
may vary pending specific system type.
Euroclad offers solutions to allow architectural requirements
to be met, whilst providing the required strengths and cost
advantages associated with cladding systems. Confirmation
of systems and U-Values should therefore be obtained from
Euroclad LTD.

Thermal bridging and air leakage
Improving the u-value of the main building fabric without adding the thermal
bridging is no longer an option. Approved Document L, requires that the building
fabric should be constructed so that there are no significant thermal bridges or
gaps in the insulation layer, particularly at joints between elements and at the
edges of elements, such as those around window and door openings. Linear
thermal transmission losses, known as psi values are found at junctions between
elements such as floors, walls and corners.
Thermal point losses, known as ‘chi’ values occur at brackets or fixings that
penetrate insulation layer.
These values will vary with each detail and confirmation of heat loss and risk of
condensation should be obtained directly for the individual cladding manufacturer.
Buildings also need to be reasonably airtight, to reduce air leakage and testing to
show compliance. Special care should be taken at junctions between elements and
around penetrations within the building envelope.
Installation
Plain Faced Cladding Roll is recommended for use in roofing applications.
Foil Faced Cladding Roll is recommended for use in vertical applications and
should be installed with the foil facing towards the inner liner.
Packaging
ROCKWOOL Cladding Roll is supplied compression wrapped on pallets protected
by a waterproof covering which allows the product to be stored outside for a
limited time period.
Perforated liner trays
Cladding Roll can also be used in conjunction with ROCKWOOL Acoustic Infill
pieces fitted within the trapezoidal sections of a perforated liner tray to provide
both sound absorption and reduction. ROCKWOOL trapezoidal Acoustic Infills are
supplied tissue faced.
Composite panels
ROCKWOOL also supplies structural panel products to composite panel
manufacturers who have developed a wide range of fire safe composite panels
for use both internally and externally. The external panel systems include wall
constructions that achieve up to four hours stability and one hour of integrity and
insulation. These systems are suitable for use less than one metre from the relevant
boundary.
