Façade and insulation considered together

Thermal insulation

External thermal insulation systems combine the build-up of the building envelope with a newly designed rendered or painted surface. Compatible materials and carefully planned junctions are essential.

A system in which every layer has to work together.

With external thermal insulation, the insulation, fixings, reinforcement, render and junctions form one build-up. The precise specification depends on the building, the existing structure and the agreed system.

Scope of work

What we can do for you

  • Existing structure and junctions

    The façade surface, transitions and relevant building junctions are included when planning the build-up.

  • Insulation and render build-up

    The coordinated system layers provide the foundation for the finished façade surface.

  • Surface design

    Render texture and colour scheme are selected to suit the building and intended system.

How we work

From the existing surface to a coherent result

  1. Review the building

    We identify the relevant façade areas and discuss the objectives and project conditions.

  2. Coordinate the build-up

    The system, junctions and finished surface are planned as one connected service.

  3. Build up the layers

    The agreed build-up is installed step by step through to the finished façade surface.

Thermal insulation does not end at the insulation board.

Only the coordinated interaction of all layers and details creates a building envelope that suits both the technical requirements and the design.
