ROCKWOOL’s non-combustible stone wool insulation is ideal for reaching passive house standards because it fits easily into the building and stays in shape over time, lets vapour pass through, is long-lasting and fire-safe. Therefore, we have created a unique wall system combining stone wool ...

but a worthwhile one. Even small holes that are difficult to see can release a significant amount of heat from a house over time. Like a road for heat to escape, most homes have thermal bridges inside the walls that allow heat to travel through the wall to the outside. Avoiding these ...

Aluminium curtain wall 50 mm wide, insulation by Nomatec XPE (0.039 W/mK). Standard values were used for the stainless steel pressure plate with screws [Delta U = 0.3 W/(m²K)]; and for the non-metallic glass carriers with metal screws [Chi = 0.004 W/K
U-values, which should typically be within the range of 0.10 W/(m2 K) to 0.15 W/(m2 K). For example, WLG 035 insulation material has been utilized in the wall insulation layer in Germany such that the heat transfer coefficients of the enveloped are maintained at lower value, i.e., ...
