Performance of Strapping Attachment on Walls with Long Screws though ROCKWOOL Rigid Insulation – Technical Bulletin
Performance of Strapping Attachment on Walls with Long Screws though ROCKWOOL Rigid Insulation – Technical Bulletin

Research and in-situ performance has shown that attaching exterior strapping with just screws directly through layers of ROCKWOOL rigid stone wool insulation is an efficient cladding attachment solution from a thermal, structural and moisture perspective.
