Thermafiber Mineral Wool Products - Owens Corning

1 Thermafiber . Mineral Wool Products Helping you achieve LEED Certifications Owens Corning offers a number of Products to help improve thermal performance, . moisture control, durability and sound quality in commercial buildings. This document Owens Corning Thermafiber applies to the LEED 2009 and LEED v4 for Building Design and Construction (BD + C), Mineral Wool Insulation Products : New Construction (Core and Shell, Schools, Retail, Data Centers, Warehouses and FireSpan FireLedge . Distribution Centers, Hospitality, and Healthcare). As you pursue LEED Certification, RainBarrier HD.

LEED Certification and the awarding of credits, is based on the overall project design, Safing Industrial Board properly designed building systems and assemblies, and the performance of the project UltraBatt Industrial Blanket as a whole. Owens Corning Products can be a component of many of these systems SAFB (Sound Industrial Felt and assemblies. All components within those systems and assemblies should be Attenuation Metal Mesh Blanket considered to assess compliance with the LEED Rating System within a given category.)
