Application
Façade Slab 35 is used for the thermal insulation of rainscreen and curtain wall cladding systems. Façade Slab 35 is lightweight but rigid enough to resist
the compression forces generated when fixing the insulation slabs to the buildings substrate. The water repellent additive in Façade Slab 35 provides a
further line of defence against moisture penetration.

Environmental
Façade Slab 35 represents no known threat to the environment and has zero Ozone Depletion Potential and zero Global Warming Potential.
Water Vapor Permeance
Façade Slab 35 have a maximum water vapor permeance of 0.02 perms as per ASTM E96, Procedure A.
Thermal Performance
The U-value of a proprietary rainscreen and curtainwall cladding system is dependent on the degree of thermal bridging in the system.
Calculations produced by Knauf Insulation’s Technical Services Department are as per Dubai Municipality and ESTIDAMA norms.
Facade Slab 35 is listed on Dubai Municipality U-Value calculation sheet under layer reference code 06.079.12
Handling and storage
