Rok-On™
ROK-ON™ manufactures an innovative structural sheathing system and rainscreen system utilizing a proprietary fiberglass reinforced ceramic cement board, (FRCC), which is the foundation of its systems and technology. The board is structural, non-combustible, will not rot, will not support mold, and is water and impact resistant and bug-proof. It can be cut and installed using normal tools and trades and accepts and holds fasteners. It contains no harmful ingredients and is totally recyclable. It can accept direct applications of exterior claddings and finishes creating design flexibility. Most importantly is that its use eliminates most of the layers needed with competing products to meet the performance standards required.
- Available as structural insulated sheathing and rainscreen system battens.
- Attaches like common sheathing and is fully code compliant.
- Accepts any exterior claddings and finishes and eliminates most of the layers needed with other products.
- Exceeds new code mandates for fire, energy and moisture management.
- Non-Combustible, 0 Flame / 0 Smoke spread / R-10.5
- Water Resistant, Impact Resistant, Termite Resistant, Will not rot, mold or mildew.
SPECIALITIES: INNOVATIVE STRUCTURAL INSULATED SHEATHING & RAINSCREEN SYSTEM FOR THE BUILDING ENVELOPE THAT EXCEEDS CODE REQUIREMENTS FOR ENERGY AND FIRE PERFORMANCE.

Thermafiber® by Owens Corning®
RainBarrier® rain screen and cavity wall continuous insulation provide energy saving continuous insulation (ci), fire protection, and acoustical control while efficiently draining water from a wall cavity system. RainBarrier® has several distinct advantages over other insulation products in these types of construction. Thermafiber® VersaBoard®is a multi-purpose mineral wool insulation. These products are great for parking garage, under decking, mechanical rooms, and other areas where insulation is required. These products are engineered to repel moisture and can be an exposed interior surface.
SPECIALITIES: RAIN SCREEN AND CAVITY WALL CONTINUOUS INSULATION AND MULTI-PURPOSE MINERAL WOOL INSULATION.
