Isover has
launched a new stone wool insulation, Polterm Max Plus, for rainscreen cladding
and over-cladding applications.
Polterm
Max Plus is a non-combustible 1200 x 600mm stone mineral wool slab, which
delivers excellent thermal and acoustic performance, while achieving the best
attainable A1 Euroclass fire classification according to EN 13501-1.
With a
thermal conductivity of 0.035W/mK, Isover’s new range will help reduce heat
loss within a building; the slabs can be tightly butted together, while the
inner face accommodates substrate irregularities, to maximise the thermal
performance.
In
addition to its thermal performance, Polterm Max Plus will also improve the
acoustic performance of the external envelope, reducing the airborne noise from
aircraft, vehicles, trains and weather.
Polterm Max Plus
contains a water repellent additive to protect against moisture ingress during
installation.
The black glass veil on the external facing side of the
insulation contributes to the aesthetics of the installation, as it prevents
unwanted sightings of the insulation from behind a ventilated rainscreen façade
system.
Stuart Dumbarton, Head
of Product Management at Isover, commented: “The launch of Polterm Max Plus
demonstrates our commitment to continually improving our product offer with
solutions that add value for our customers.
“Polterm
Max Plus can be used in conjunction with our Steel Frame Infill Batt, which is
designed to fully fill the steel frame stud and provide additional thermal and
acoustic performance.”
Polterm Max Plus is manufactured to Quality Management
Standard BS EN ISO 9001 in accordance with the CE marking requirements, under
the Construction Products Directive and to product standard EN 13162.
