Construction: The Rockfall system is totally fire safe, minimises thermal bridging & provides an effective acoustic barrier against external noise pollution. The system comprises of a high density Rockwool Overlay board mechanically fixed over the rafters and a lighter density Rockwool Underlay board fitted between rafters. An air tight VCL membrane is stapled to the underside of the rafters finished with 12.5mm plasterboard.
