There are several factors that designers take into consideration when designing mid-rise wood frame buildings.
Building performance must be considered in combination with requirements such as fire safety, structural systems, acoustics and energy efficiency.
ROCKWOOL is dedicated to not only providing high performance solutions through our extensive product offering but providing the knowledge and tools needed to determine an optimal design solution and maximize your building goals.
Evolving building codes now allow for taller wood frame buildings. This introduction discusses why these changes have taken place and what is expected in the future.
Comfortboard®80 Non-Structural Sheathing Continuous Insulation - Techdata
ROCKWOOL Comfortboard® 80 is a rigid stone wool continuous insulation board used as a non-structural sheathing product in residential construction.

This Single Family Residential Builder’s Guide covers the use of ROCKWOOL Comfortboard® 80 within a splitinsulation or exterior insulation wall assembly.
Cladding Attachment Solutions For Exterior Insulated Commercial Walls
The use of exterior insulation installed outboard of wall sheathing is becoming increasingly common across North America to meet new energy code requirements.
Commonly referred to as exterior insulation, this insulation is installed continuously on the outside of the primary structure and is typically more thermally efficient than insulation placed between studs or inboard of the structural system, provided that thermally efficient cladding attachments are used.
