<strong>thermafiber</strong>® RainBarrier® | Owens Corning Insulation

Continuous Insulation

Why Choose Mineral Wool Continuous Insulation?

thermafiber® RainBarrier®* continuous insulation semi-rigid products are designed for exceptional performance in rain screen and cavity wall construction applications. thermafiber® RainBarrier® insulation provides thermal control, fire-resistive characteristics, acoustical control, vapour permeance, and the ability to drain water from a wall cavity system. All thermafiber® RainBarrier® products are non-combustible and compatible with common wall ties, adhesives, and air barrier systems.

*Latest RainBarrier® products combine the benefits of RainBarrier® 45 and RainBarrier® HD as of May 2024.
