RockReveal has been included in the energy and carbon saving category in recognition of its thermal performance and energy efficiency, as well as the benefits which it brings to customers and end-users alike.
Cold bridging around window and door reveals can result in condensation, staining and mould growth.

It is specifically designed for second-fix applications after brickwork has been completed and provides a minimum of 60 minutes fire integrity, and up to 60 minutes fire insulation in a masonry construction.
Brian Roberts, Managing Director of Rockwool , commented: "We are delighted that RockReveal has been chosen for this year's CPIA publication".
