New Insulation Product you might not know about! @powerwool makes exterior rigid mineral wool insulation. This PowerWool 80 product is 8lb density with Industry leading compression resistance which means when you screw 1x furring strip battens over this material it’ll lay flatter (thus flatter siding). No shortages with these guys either. Same benefits of other mineral wool insulations: Fire Resistance, Vapor Open, and water runs off it like a ducks back. Available locally or at Warehoos.com @warehoos #insulation
Everyday jobsite cutting tools and a steady hand — that's all it takes to cut PowerWool RigiBoard cleanly. Crisp edges mean tighter joints, better continuous insulation, and fewer call-backs. See the install in action.

Vapor barriers, air barriers, vapor-permeable insulation — what's the difference, and which does your assembly really need? Our latest blog clears the confusion. Learn when to specify each, why mineral wool's vapor permeability is an asset (not a compromise), and how PowerWool fits into a moisture-smart wall.

What a great jobsite visit with TNT General Contracting in Otis, MA! We installed a nice R6.3 flannel on the outside of this lakeside cottage!
PowerWool does jobsite visits so reach out!!

Compressive strength matters. With more than 30% higher compressive strength than the leading mineral wool at the same density, PowerWool RigiBoard helps walls stay flatter, fasteners bite better, and furring strips line up cleanly — so crews spend less time fighting wavy insulation and more time installing cladding.

Every sheet of RigiBoard M 80 is cut to fit tight, so this garage floor gets a continuous blanket of mineral wool insulation with no gaps. Precise installation today means long‑term R‑value, stable compression resistance and a floor assembly that is ready for serious use. Made from volcanic rock and recycled content, this rigid board brings durable thermal and fire performance to one of the toughest spaces in the house. #RigiBoard #MineralWool #RigidMineralWool #ContinuousInsulation #ExteriorInsulation #HighPerformanceBuilding #BuildBetter
PowerWool RigiBoard™ continuous mineral wool insulation that stops thermal bridging and keeps your building dry, efficient, and resilient.

PowerHour: Are we insulating the wrong way?
Join Matt Risinger and Powerwool to rethink the standard cavity-only approach.
From thermal bridging to moisture and drying potential, this session breaks down why exterior insulation is gaining ground—and how to apply it on real jobs.
Smarter walls start here.
On site with Matt Hoots of Sawhorse is using an Aerosmith fastening tool to precisely set fasteners, minimizing thermal bridging and boosting enclosure performance.
