Navigating the design/performance dilemma Innovative open-joint assemblies and imaginative claddings are spotlighting the façades of today’s structures. At the same time, today’senergy codes have made continuous insulation a de facto component in rainscreen and cavity wall construction applications. Beyonddefending against thermal bridging and supporting the energy efficiency of the envelope, non-combustible mineral wool continuousinsulation is engineered to repel and drain water and manage vapor moisture. It even brings acoustical benefits to help manage noise in theouter assembly.
