WHY SHOULD YOU INSTALL EXTERNAL WALL INSULATION ?

Non-insulated buildings are vulnerable to a wide range of hazards. There are also a number of other economical, ecological and health issues that can have an impact on anyone living inside.These are problems that can be solved by simply installing external wall insulation (EWI_.

Reduced CO ² emissions
By installing EWI you will reduce heating requirements and therefore reduce your overall carbon footprint.

Reduced heating costs
Efficient insulation can reduce heating bills by up to 40%.

A facelift for your property
The investment in EWI will lower maintenance costs as well as energy consumption, ensuring that your house will meet current and future U-value regulations. Regenerating your home with EWI can improve the ascetics of your property and create a warm, healthy and comfortable environment.
 

MEETING CLIENTS NEEDS

FIRE SAFETY
At our independent fire institute we are able to rigorously test systems in relation to fire safety. This ensures we deliver the safest products to the U.K., Europe and the rest of the world.
During the installation process, our systems are adhesively fixed, with supplementary mechanical fixings. Adhesively fixed systems act as an additional fire barrier by reducing the chimney effect.

STRONGEST ANTI-FUNGAL PROTECTION
Our systems contain encapsulated biocides to prevent the growth of algae and mould. They also include chemical properties to resist UV radiation. Soltherm systems have enhanced flexibility and vapour permeability, which drives moisture away from the fabric of the building.

EASY MAINTENANCE
A major advantage of select Soltherm systems, is that they can be regularly maintained through a unique bespoke maintenance package. By pressure washing the system, you can easily and quickly refresh the facade and remove any grime, stains and dirt. We believe maintenance packages increase longevity whilst maintaining a fresh vibrant look for the life of the property.

EXTREME WIND RESISTANCE
Through our patented ‘Cross Knot’ technology, we have a special mechanical fixing to provide extreme resistance to wind loads, ideal for buildings where safety is a top priority.

CERTIFIED AND APPROVED
We have a fully OJEU compliant framework that provides access to funding and works, and applies nationally to all social housing providers, to make procurement simple.

Soltherm systems hold BBA Approval and ISO certification. Our other certifications:
- ETA
- NSAI
-  DTA
We are insured by SWIGA (Solid Wall Insulation Guarantee Agency)
 

EXTREME WIND & CRACK RESISTANCE

Non-combustible. The strongest performing wind load. Our system is amongst the safest.

CROSS KNOT is a unique EWI solution, which combines the full forces of the insulation material. In this patented Soltherm solution, a mechanical fixing goes through two crossed fibreglass mesh strips to provide extreme resistance to wind loads. A standard fixing provides a reinforcement area that is restricted to the support washer area, however with Cross Knot this area is extended, as the crossed strips are both attached to the insulation material as well as fixed to the reinforcement. The mechanical fixing used in this process has the capability to hold down the insulation as fixing which can be tightened. This is ideal for buildings where wind loading is a concern, to ensure optimal security and safety during high winds.

EARLY GRIP ADHESIVE is an innovative solution which increases initial adhesion and durability of the EWI system and increases the resistance to cracks. You can use it for both: EPS and mineral wool slabs. This ensures a shorter installation time.
