MIMA Building Safety Guide - Insulated Façades
In the wake of the tragedy at Grenfell Tower, building owners have been seeking support in assessing the safety of their buildings. This guide provides information in respect to building façades, and includes details of A1 and A2 Euroclass rated non-combustible façade materials which meet the highest standards of performance in relation to re whilst also delivering on energy ef ciency.

New Research on the Effect of Flooding on Mineral Wool Insulation Products
New research conducted by Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) on behalf of the Mineral Wool Insulation Manufacturers Association (MIMA) reveals that mineral wool cavity wall insulation products perform well after being immersed in water under conditions of simulated flooding:
- The mineral wool insulation products tested were undamaged by simulated flooding.
- Traditional walls insulated with mineral wool were judged to recover their thermal performance without taking longer to dry out due to the presence of the mineral wool.
- There was no increased risk of mould due to the presence of the mineral wool. The findings are relevant to policymakers, insurers, housebuilders, and have implications for guidance produced by government.
Mineral wool insulation products perform at least as well as other types of insulation in flood prone areas, suggesting that government guidance dating back to 2007, which advises against the use of mineral wool, should be reviewed and revised.
