2 Manufacture
2.1 Raw materials, mixed to a controlled formulation, are melted in a furnace to produce molten stone. Stone fibres
are produced from the molten stone using a rotary spinning process. The fibres are treated with a resin and formed
into a continuous length of insulation to the required thickness and density. The insulation then passes into an oven
which cures the resin. Finally, the product is cut to the required dimensions to form the slabs.

2.2 As part of the assessment and ongoing surveillance of product quality, the BBA has:

• agreed with the manufacturer the quality control procedures and product testing to be undertaken
• assessed and agreed the quality control operated over batches of incoming materials
• monitored the production process and verified that it is in accordance with the documented process
• evaluated the process for management of nonconformities
• checked that equipment has been properly tested and calibrated
• undertaken to carry out the above measures on a regular basis through a surveillance process, to verify that the
specifications and quality control operated by the manufacturer are being maintained.

2.3 The management systems of the manufacturer have been assessed and registered as meeting the requirements of
BS EN ISO 9001 : 2015 by RISE (Research Institutes of Sweden) (Certificate 1418-8 2018-03-30).

3.4 Damaged, contaminated or wet slabs must not be used.

Assessment and Technical Investigations

The following is a summary of the assessment and technical investigations carried out on the K-Roc Rainscreen Slab For
Use In Rainscreen Cladding Systems.

Design Considerations

4 Use
4.1 The K-Roc Rainscreen Slab For Use In Rainscreen Cladding Systems is effective in reducing the U value (thermal
transmittance) of external walls of timber-frame, steel-frame or masonry buildings (where masonry includes clay and
calcium silicate bricks, concrete blocks, and natural and reconstituted stone blocks), in new and existing domestic and
non-domestic buildings. It is essential that such walls are designed and constructed to incorporate the normal
precautions against moisture ingress, including the use of a breather membrane over the timber sheathing in framing
board applications.

4.2 Certain rainscreen systems, such as those with open joints, may require the addition of a breather membrane
incorporated into the system. The requirement for a membrane is determined by the system designer and is outside
the scope of this Certificate.

4.3 Care must also be taken in the overall design and construction of elements incorporating the product to ensure
appropriate:

• sheathing or bracing for frame elements. The product must not be relied on to provide any structural contribution,
eg racking strength
• fire resistance, for elements and junctions
• continuity of insulation to minimise thermal bridging
• resistance to the ingress of precipitation and moisture from the ground.

4.4 The wall and sub-frame should be structurally sound, and should have been designed and constructed in
accordance with the following Standards and, where appropriate, their UK National Annexes:

• BS 8000-3 : 2001
• BS EN 351-1 : 2007
• BS EN 845-1 : 2013
• BS EN 1993-1-2 : 2005 and its UK National Annex
• BS EN 1993-1-3 : 2006 and its UK National Annex
• BS EN 1995-1-1 : 2004 and its UK National Annex
• BS EN 1996-1-1 : 2005 and its UK National Annex
• BS EN 1996-1-2 : 2005 and its UK National Annex
• BS EN 1996-2 : 2006 and its UK National Annex
• BS EN 1996-3 : 2006 and its UK National Annex.

4.5 The designer should select a construction appropriate to the local wind-driven rain index to BS EN 1996-2 : 2006
and its UK National Annex, paying due regard to the design detailing, quality of work and materials to be used.

Page 5 of 15
4.6 The air gap between the face of the insulation and the back of the rainscreen panels should be of sufficient width
to allow any water passing the joints to run down the back of the rainscreen panels and be discharged externally
without wetting the insulation or the backing wall. The minimum width for air gaps required by NHBC is:

• 50 mm for panels with open joints

• 38 mm for panels with baffled or labyrinth (rebated) joints.

4.7 The construction should be made weathertight as soon as is practically possible, to ensure maximum protection of
the product.

5 Practicability of installation
The product is designed to be installed by a competent general builder, or a contractor, experienced with this type
of product.

6 Thermal performance
6.1 Calculations of the thermal transmittance (U value) should be carried out in accordance with, where
relevant, BS EN ISO 6946 : 2017, BRE Report BR 443 : 2006, BRE Digest DG 465 and BS EN ISO 10211 :
2017, using the insulation’s declared thermal conductivity (λD) of 0.034 W·m–1·K–1.

6.2 The U value of a completed wall construction will depend on the insulation thickness, number and type of
fixings, the rainscreen support systems, the insulating value of the substrate and its internal finish. Calculated U
values for example constructions are given in Tables 2 to 4.

Junctions

6.3 Care must be taken in the overall design and construction of junctions with other elements and openings to
minimise thermal bridges and air infiltration. Detailed guidance can be found in the documents supporting the national
Building Regulations.

7 Condensation risk
Interstitial condensation

7.1 Walls will adequately limit the risk of interstitial condensation when they are designed and
constructed in accordance with BS 5250 : 2011, Annexes D and G.

7.2 For the purpose of calculations, the water vapour diffusion resistance factor (μ) of the K-Roc Rainscreen Slab
may be taken as 1.

7.3 A vapour control layer should be used in all constructions, should the condensation risk analysis show this is
necessary.

Page 7 of 15
Surface condensation

7.4 Walls will adequately limit the risk of surface condensation when the thermal transmittance
(U value) does not exceed 0.7 W·m-2·K-1 at any point, and the junctions with other elements are designed
in accordance with the guidance referred to in section 6.3 of this Certificate.

7.5 In Scotland, walls will adequately limit the risk of surface condensation when the thermal
transmittance (U value) does not exceed 1.2 W·m-2·K-1 at any point, and the junctions with other
elements are designed in accordance with the guidance referred to in BS 5250 : 2011, Annex G. Further
guidance may be obtained from BRE Report BR 262 : 2002 and section 6.3 of this Certificate.

8 Behaviour in relation to fire

8.1 The product is classified as Class A1 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 : 2007(1). It is therefore ‘non-
combustible’ as defined in the national Building Regulations and is not subject to any restriction on
building height or proximity to boundaries.
(1) Exova Warrington fire, Report No 408721 (Issue 3), 19 March 2019. Copies can be obtained from the Certificate holder.

8.2 Designers should refer to the relevant national Building Regulations and guidance for detailed conditions of use,
particularly in respect of requirements for substrate fire performance, cavity closers and barriers, fire stopping of
service penetrations and combustibility limitations for other materials and components used in the overall wall
construction.

9 Strength and stability

9.1 The wall and sub-frame to which the product is fixed, or which it is installed between, should be structurally sound
and constructed in accordance with section 4.3 of this Certificate. However, when designing the wall for strength,
stability and racking, no contribution from the insulation should be assumed.

9.2 Wind loads should be calculated by a suitably experienced and competent individual in accordance with
BS EN 1991-1-4 : 2005 and its UK National Annex. The higher pressure coefficients applicable to corners of buildings
should be used.

9.3 The adequacy of fixing to the structural frame or substrate for specific installations is outside the scope of this
Certificate and must be verified by a suitably experienced and qualified individual. Care is required around window and
door openings to ensure that the structure is capable of sustaining the additional weight of reveal/frame details.

9.4 The cladding must be fixed to the frame or masonry substrate and designed by a suitably qualified and experienced
individual in accordance with relevant Standards and Requirements (see section 4.4).

10 Water resistance
10.1 External walls should be in good condition and must resist the ingress of rain.

10.2 Care must be taken to ensure that the types of façades and wall finishes, and the design and detailing around
openings, are appropriate for the anticipated exposure conditions and, if appropriate, resist the movement of the
frame.

10.3 The product should be kept dry until the cladding is applied.

10.4 To resist the passage of moisture from the ground, adequate damp-proof courses and membranes must be
provided in accordance with conventional good practice. The slabs must not be used in situations where they bridge
the damp-proof course in walls.

10.5 Weather resistance is provided by an external cladding system (outside the scope of this Certificate).

Page 8 of 15
11 Maintenance
As the product is confined between the wall and the cladding, and has suitable durability (see section 12), and provided
the integrity of the cladding is maintained throughout the life of the system, maintenance is not required.

12 Durability
The product is unaffected by the normal conditions in a wall and is durable, rot proof, water resistant and
sufficiently stable to remain effective as insulation for the life of the building.

Installation

13 General
13.1 Installation of the K-Roc Rainscreen Slab For Use In Rainscreen Cladding Systems should be in accordance with this
Certificate, the Certificate holder’s instructions, and current good building practice.

13.2 The slab can be cut using a fine-toothed saw or sharp knife, but care must be taken to prevent damage,
particularly to edges.

13.3 Cavity barriers should be provided as required by the documents supporting the national Building Regulations.

13.4 It is important to ensure a tight fit between slabs. Trimming must be accurate, to achieve close-butted joints and
continuity of insulation.

13.5 The slabs are fixed against the external face of the sheathing board or against the external face of masonry
substrates, in conjunction with masonry cladding or weathertight rainscreen cladding(1), maintaining a cavity to ensure
drainage.

(1) Rainscreen cladding systems are proprietary and utilise various mechanisms for attaching cladding panels to the wall structure. Site work
guidance should be sought from the system manufacturer.

14 Procedure
14.1 Slabs should be close butted at all vertical and horizontal joints. The horizontal joints of the insulation should be
staggered in accordance with good practice.

14.2 Fixings should have a minimum head diameter of 70 mm. A typical fixing pattern has three fixings per square
metre, with one metal fixing at the centre of every slab (see section 9.3 of this Certificate).

14.3 The product should be cut and tightly fitted around wall brackets, where these occur.

14.4 For a typical installation, a breathable membrane is placed between the sheathing board and the product (see
Figures 1 and 2). A vcl is placed between the plasterboard and the frame (see Figures 1 to 3). Designers should,
however, choose a suitable construction on a case by case basis for a particular installation.
