ROCKWOOL Cavityrock® semi-rigid stone wool insulation board
available in mono and dual density is designed for exterior The non-combustible characteristics of
cavity wall and rainscreen applications. Choose mono-density Cavityrock® insulation mean that it will not

2.5” to 6”. spread even when directly exposed to fire.

Compatible with numerous cladding attachment systems,

Cavityrock® is a durable solution with non-combustible
characteristics meaning that the insulation will not develop toxic
smoke or promote flame spread even when directly exposed to
fire. Approved for use in many NFPA 285-compliant designs, it
is an important component of fire-resilient exterior wall systems
when used as a continuous insulation.

Cavityrock® also offers energy efficiency with reliable thermal

performance, improved acoustic comfort, and is moisture
resistant to maintain insulating value for the long-term.

Also available in a black mat facer finish for open-joint cladding

systems, Cavityrock® Black combines your insulation install with
masking in a single step, reducing installation time and material
cost to achieve your desired design aesthetic.
