Learn how continuous insulation (CI) systems improve building performance and how to properly install Thermafiber® RainBarrier® mineral wool exterior insulation across a range of commercial wall assemblies.
This video walks through key installation and attachment methods for exterior continuous insulation, including impaling pins, mechanical fasteners, Z-girts, and clip-and-rail systems. You’ll see how these approaches apply across different substrates and cladding types.
Continuous insulation is designed to run uninterrupted across the building envelope, helping reduce thermal bridging, improve energy efficiency, and simplify integration with air and water barriers. owenscorning.com/en-us/insulation/commercial/rainbarrier
Thermafiber® RainBarrier® mineral wool offers added performance benefits, including non-combustibility, vapor permeability, and moisture resistance, making it ideal for rainscreen and cavity wall applications.
