In building construction, it’s important to ensure that exterior walls are extremely well insulated. Also, in the case of multi-unit residential buildings, additional effort is required to ensure that fire cannot easily move through the walls between units.
Roxul ComfortBoard 80 is a rigid stone wool insulation sheathing board that is non-combustible, water repellent, vapor permeable, fire resistant, and sound absorbent. ComfortBoard 80 is specifically engineered as non-structural insulation sheathing that provides a continuous layer of insulation around either the exterior or interior of high performance residential wall systems such as those being built in the FHB House project.
All Roxul products are stone wool, made of a combination of natural basalt rock and recycled slag, a mineral by-product of the steel-making process. Roxul stone wool products offer superior benefits over traditional insulation products, making them safer and more cost-efficient over time. Stone wool does not promote growth of fungi or mildew, is chemically inert and non-corrosive, and is CFC and HCFC free.
