100mm Rockwool EWI External Wall DD Insulation Slab is a thermal insulation solution compatible with various externally applied wall insulation systems that hold third-party accreditation.
Utilizing 100mm Rockwool Dual Density technology during manufacturing, each slab boasts a higher density on its outer surface compared to the underside. This design ensures a sturdy and durable surface for the attachment of fixtures and rendering, while the flexible underside accommodates any substrate irregularities.
Upon installation, tightly placed slabs interlock seamlessly, forming a continuous insulating barrier that prevents heat loss caused by gaps.
By specifying 100mm Rockwool DD insulation in an External Wall Insulation (EWI) system, building owners and occupants gain confidence in the long-term performance of their insulation. The enduring effectiveness of stone wool insulation is assured, with proven durability even after 55 years of use.*

The 100mm Rockwool External Wall Dual Density Slab is meticulously designed for optimal performance in external wall insulation applications. These 100mm external wall insulation boards feature a unique 'dual density' construction, comprising two distinct layers of wool with differing densities: a lower density layer for accommodating minor irregularities in the building fabric, and a higher density top layer, providing an ideal surface for render application. To secure these boards to the wall, 100mm Rockwool external wall insulation boards necessitate metal pin mechanical fixings in addition to robust adhesive. A minimum of 7 fixings per square meter is recommended for proper installation.
Application
100mm Rockwool Mineral Wool insulation slabs should be installed following the manufacturer’s instructions, which include design guidelines and application specifics. For maximum adhesion, we recommend fixing the boards to the substrate using mortar/adhesive along with mechanical fixings.
Due to the increased weight of Mineral Wool, we suggest using the EWI-225 Premium Basecoat for application rather than a standard adhesive typically used for lighter insulating materials. Begin by applying a thin, watery coat of the adhesive to the prepared surface. Once dry, apply the basecoat and embed the Fibreglass Mesh.
Non-combustible
100mm Rockwool stone wool holds the top rating of ‘A1 – Non-combustible’ in the European Reaction to Fire Classification System, ensuring it doesn’t ignite or contribute to fire propagation.
Durable
- 100mm Rokcwool DD slabs maintain dimensional stability throughout the building's lifespan, resisting shrinkage or degradation.
- The dense outer surface facilitates secure basecoat application and prevents overdriven fixings.
- Exhibits high resistance against wind and rain exposure during installation.
- Trusted and proven: 100mm Rokcwool has been a staple in EWI systems across Europe for over 40 years.
Breathable
- 100mm Rockwool stone wool's breathable open-cell structure permits water vapor transmission, while its water-repellent fibers deter water ingress.
- Offers a vapor resistance comparable to still air.
Tightly butt-jointed slabs enable fibers to interlock effectively, eliminating heat losses through gap insulation.
- EWI systems incorporating 100mm Rockwool slabs bolster building envelope mass, restraining sound and vibration transmission.
- The fibrous composition aids in sound absorption, with test evidence demonstrating an improvement of up to 8 dB in weighted sound reduction, Rw (dependent on substrate).
Dual Density Slabs for External Walls
- Designed specifically for external wall insulation systems, Dual Density Slabs offer a stone wool insulation solution.
- Crafted using ROCKWOOL's patented 'dual density' manufacturing method, these slabs feature a higher density top layer compared to the rest of the product. This ensures a sturdy surface for render application and fixture attachment, while the flexible underside adapts to substrate irregularities.
- For simplified installation, the top layer is clearly marked with 'THIS SIDE UP', facilitating easy identification of the outer surface.
