Knauf insulation is a type of rock wool insulation that takes the form of rigid boards or slabs and is intended for external wall applications. The magic of Knauf Dual Density insulation slabs is their unique ability to accept renders directly onto the high-density side while at the same time accommodating imperfections in the wall on the low-density side.

Knauf insulation is produced from basalt – a type of volcanic rock that is abundant in nature – and recycled slag which is a by-product of steel production. But that is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the company’s environmentally friendly stance. Their overarching goals embody a deep commitment to conducting business in a more enlightened way, including:
