Intended Use
of this Document
This document provides example key
assembly interface details showing the These example details are intended to provide architects,
use of ROCKWOOLTM products within builders, and contractors with general guidance on the
best practice approach to maintain:
a split-insulated wall assembly for
commercial buildings up to 4 stories. • Air barrier continuity,

The example details could be modified for other building
types or applications. The intended use has been limited
to 4 stories for the sole purpose of creating boundaries
around the detail development. The example details
are designed to be generally applicable across North
America; however, specific end use applications vary
widely as to design, materials, and environments.
Therefore, what is appropriate in any specific end
use application is a determination that must be made
independently by the experienced Project Architect
and/or Engineer in their own professional judgment.
ROCKWOOLTM fully disclaims any liability for any of
the content contained herein whether such liability be
premised on a theory of contract, tort, or otherwise.
• Water resistant barrier (moisture barrier) continuity,
• Thermal continuity and minimizing thermal bridges,
• Cladding attachment and detailing, and
• Adequate drainage and ventilation of the wall cavity.
It is important to note these details show one method
of constructing a split-insulated, exterior air barrier wall
assembly; however, subtle changes at interface locations
could be made to achieve the same intent. Review the
building code requirements for your jurisdiction to ensure
that all wall assembly detailing is in general conformance,
or contact ROCKWOOLTM Building Science Support for
support on your project.
