Flexible Slab achieves fi re resistance ‘fi rst’ Knauf Insulation’s Rocksilk®
Flexible Slab is the fi rst Mineral Wool insulation solution in the UK to have been
tested to provide one hour of fi re resistance to EN 1365 at both 400 mm and 600 mm centre widths within the separating fl oor of a loft conversion. “Insulation is critical in providing fi re resistance within the separating fl oor of a loft conversion, but other manufacturers have only tested their products for this application at one centre width – 400 mm,” said Luke Davies, product manager – Rock Mineral Wool, at Knauf Insulation. “Our product is the only one in the UK to also be tested to provide one hour of fi re resistance within joists of 600 mm centre widths, which will give homeowners reassurance that it will perform as expected if a fi re does occur.” Rocksilk®
Flexible Slab is a non-combustible, Rock Mineral Wool product with the best possible
Euroclass A1 reaction to fi re classifi cation. It is designed to compartmentalise the building and preserve the escape routes by resisting and preventing the passage of fi re and heat from its source to the other side of the building element. Thanks to its all-round performance, Rocksilk®

PR.indd 1 A Not so Little Secret
Strata Technical Tiles, a product brand from Parkside, has been used to create a unique brand identity for a leading lingerie brand’s concession at a retailer’s fl agship Watford store. Having established a partnership on multiple projects over the last 10 years, the store’s design team turned to Strata Technical Tiles from Parkside for the solution. A striking, heavily veined marble-effect porcelain fl oor tile, Opera Accorto certainly brings an unmistakable look. The concession’s fl oor layout uses black to highlight key merchandise points and frame areas across 250 m2
of space, with contrasting white to give maximum impact to the retail displays
and retain the high-quality, desirable aesthetic of the brand. Mark Hughes, technical specifi cation manager, says: “Working with the design team to visualise the concession’s unique look was a great opportunity and proved a smooth process. With a clear visual language and direction for design, we were confi dent we would be able to fi nd the right solution with the team selecting its favourite marble effect fl oor tiles from our wide portfolio.”
