EXTERNALLY INSULATED CLT WITH RAINSCREEN CLADDING (FIRE-PROTECTED TIMBER)

A Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) wall system manufactured by XLAM Australia and NeXTimber^® is made airtight and watertight using a self-adhered Class 4 vapour-permeable ProctorPassive Wraptite SA, externally insulated with a non-combustible VulcanWool stonewool insulation, and protected by a rainscreen cladding supported by the Nvelope engineered helping hand sub-framing system. This configuration forms a continuous external insulation layer with minimal thermal bridging, while providing fire protection, thermal performance, and acoustic benefits.

DCT VulcanWool is a non-combustible high density mineral rock fibre stonewool insulation for use as external grade insulation with water shedding characteristics, designed for use in ventilated rainscreen facades and other thermal and acoustic wall, roof, floor and ceiling applications in residential and commercial buildings. 

Nvelope Rainscreen Back Framing simplifies the complexity of modern building facades using a unique ‘helping hand’ bracketing system which is fixed to the substrate at set vertical and horizontal separations. Suitable for the most demanding facade materials, our range of Nvelope brackets, rails and rainscreen support systems are safe, economic and effective.  

ProctorPassive Wraptite Self Adhesive (SA) is a light duty vapour permeable membrane for wall and metal roof application functioning as  water and air barrier in one innovative vapour permeable self-adhering product.
