Rockwool has launched an exterior load-bearing wall system, suitable for buildings of up to two and a half storeys, and with most types of foundation, which integrates high levels of insulation into its design “to deliver an energy-efficient solution to the Zero Carbon challenge”, while keeping wall thickness to a minimum.
Passivhaus-certified, RockShell achieves a typical U-Value of 0.143W/m2K, making it “an ideal specification for projects targeting superior thermal performance”. A patented modular system with few components, RockShell is delivered in “kit form” according to the specified building design. Constructed of I-shaped steel profiles encompassed in heavy Rockwool insulation and an OSB lining on the inside, it is said to be quick and easy to install, without specialist equipment.
