ROCKWOOL® Cavity insulation is a full-fill insulation solution for masonry cavity wall construction, suitable for use in new builds and extensions. Lightweight and easy to handle, the batts are simple to install and provide a close fit against brick and blockwork. ROCKWOOL Cavity full fill insulation batts are non-combustible and contain water repellent additives which prevent moisture transmission between the outer and inner leaf.
ROCKWOOL Cavity is batts are used for thermal insulation of external masonry cavity walls, and for the thermal insulation and acoustic protection of masonry party walls between dwellings. ROCKWOOL Cavity has been examined by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) and granted Certificate 94/3079 for use in all exposure zones for domestic and non-domestic buildings that are up 25m in height. The NHBC accepts the use of ROCKWOOL Cavity Batt, other than in very severe exposure locations with fairfaced masonry, provided it is installed, used and maintained in accordance with the BBA Certificate, in relation to NHBC Standards, Chapter 6.1, External masonry walls. Building standards have also recognised that where party cavity-walls between connected buildings are untreated, considerable heat can escape through them. Using ROCKWOOL Cavity Batt to fully fill the party wall will reduce the u-value to 0.00 W/m2K.
