Our take on the Rockwool Mineral Wool CavityRock 16" x 48"

CavityRock is a high-density, semi-rigid stone wool board for exterior cavity walls and rainscreen facades. It pairs with ComfortBatt batts in the stud cavity to add continuous exterior insulation, boosting thermal performance and cutting thermal bridging. Stone wool is non-combustible with a melting point near 2150°F, resists moisture without losing R-value, and absorbs sound. It suits builders and renovators doing rainscreen or ventilated facade work who want fire and moisture performance over foam boards; the trade-off is heavier boards and a higher installed cost than rigid foam.

Pros
  • Non-combustible stone wool, melting point about 2150°F
  • Water-resistant; keeps R-value when damp
  • Dense semi-rigid board holds its shape in the cavity
  • Adds acoustic damping to the wall assembly
  • Stable R-value per inch across thicknesses, from R4.2 at 1 inch to R25.2 at 6 inches
Cons
  • Heavier and denser than rigid foam board
  • Costs more than EPS or XPS per unit of R-value
  • Cuts and installs differently than foam; needs the right blades and fasteners
  • Dust and fibers during cutting call for gloves, eye protection and a mask
  • R-value per inch is lower than polyiso

What reviewers say

Owners and installers of CavityRock boards generally report dense, rigid boards that cut cleanly and hold up in rainscreen assemblies, with strong fire and moisture performance. Complaints center on weight, dust while cutting and the higher cost than foam.

What people mention
  • Fire performancePraisedBuyers value the non-combustible stone wool and high melting point for facade assemblies.
  • Moisture resistancePraisedInstallers say the boards shed water and keep their insulating value in damp walls.
  • WeightCriticisedDense boards are heavy to lift and place, especially high on a facade.
  • Cutting and dustMixedBoards cut cleanly but generate dust and fibers that need protective gear.
  • CostCriticisedOwners note it costs more than rigid foam for the same R-value.
  • AcousticsPraisedUsers report quieter walls after adding the boards to the assembly.

About the Rockwool Mineral Wool CavityRock 16" x 48"

CavityRock MD and CavityRock DD are high-density, semi-rigid stone wool board insulation. They are designed for external cavity wall and rainscreen applications.

Used with ComfortBatt thermal batt insulation in the exterior wall stud cavity, the board provides long-term thermal efficiency, fire resistance, moisture control and acoustic performance.

The stone wool is non-combustible and has a melting point of approximately 1177°C (2150°F). It does not absorb moisture, so it keeps its insulating value. It is chemically inert and does not rot or promote mildew, fungi or bacteria.

Questions and answers

What is CavityRock used for?
It is exterior continuous insulation for cavity walls and rainscreen facades. It goes outside the sheathing, often combined with ComfortBatt batts between studs.
Is CavityRock fire rated?
It is non-combustible stone wool with a melting point of about 2150°F. That makes it a common choice where a facade needs a non-combustible insulation layer.
Does it lose R-value when wet?
Rockwool says the boards resist moisture and do not absorb water in a way that degrades insulating value. Keep them dry during storage and install anyway.
How thick should I go?
Thickness sets the R-value: 1 inch gives R4.2, 2 inch R8.4, 3 inch R12.6, 4 inch R16.8 and 6 inch R25.2. Choose based on your wall's target R-value and the cavity depth your cladding allows.
Can I use it with foam board instead?
Yes, but stone wool adds non-combustible fire performance and better moisture tolerance than foam. Foam gives more R-value per inch and is lighter.
What comes on a pallet?
Pallets are sold by square footage, and the coverage per pallet drops as thickness rises, from 2048 sq ft at 1 inch to 256 sq ft at 6 inch.
