Aside from dampening our spirits, the past winter has proved to be one of the wettest on record and will have reminded construction industry specifiers of the protection that render finishes can offer against driving rain. Render coats can only be effective, however, if correctly applied over a suitable substrate and in a manner where the build-up plays its part in ensuring the outer envelope achieves all of its objectives under the Building Regulations, including continuity of thermal insulation and airtightness, as well as weather protection. https://bit.ly/44wpeMp Marmox

ROCKWOOL stone wool building materials are water repellent. If moisture is able to accumulate in a construction, it can lead to mould, mildew growth and rot that can cause long-term problems in a building and unhealthy air quality for occupants. Our stone wool used in buildings is water repellent and will not absorb moisture from the air, instead letting it pass through its permeable structure. These traits help protect the building and the health of the people in it from the negative impacts of moisture build-up. ✅ #ROCKWOOL #StoneWool #StoneWoolInsulation #MoistureRepellence
