Stone Wool for External Walls, Curtain Walls and Steel-Frame Walls

External wall board and vertical strip for ETICS render facades, and curtain wall board for the fire stop at each slab edge. Steel-frame walls take TSD board as cavity fill.

Exterior wall of a multi-story building under construction, clad with yellow-wrapped stone wool boards on suspended scaffolding.

Specifying and fitting

ETICS render facades

TSH board forms the insulation layer of an external thermal insulation composite system: bonded and anchored to the wall, then covered with a reinforced base coat and a finish render. The ETICS kit holder names the adhesive, anchors and render. Your engineer checks the build-up against local facade rules with the papers on this page.

Vertical strip on high-rise facades

TSS strip has its fibres turned perpendicular to the wall face, the format render systems call lamella. Buyers use it on high-rise and coastal facades.

Curtain wall fire stops

TSM board fills the curtain wall cavity and closes the gap between each floor slab and the curtain wall. The fire stop is a tested assembly from the curtain wall or fire-stopping supplier. Send its reference and the gap width with your inquiry, and we confirm the grade and thickness.

Rock Wool vs Glass Wool: Density & compressive strength

Steel-frame walls

Light gauge steel frame (LGSF) walls take stone wool board as cavity fill between the studs. Buyers ask for TSD60 and TSD80 here. Board width to suit the stud spacing is confirmed per order.
