Solid Wall | External Wall Insulation (EWI)

Typical EWI is generally applied to solid wall buildings i.e. no cavity within the brick wall construction. However EWI can also be applied to cavity wall constructions to enhance thermal performance. There are a wide range of finishes available, the sysem pictured above shows Weber.therm XP. Other finishes include through colour silicone & acrylic, scratch render through colour finish, brick effect, brick slip & aggregate dash – all in a wide range of colours.

EWI systems that are available from our suppliers come with a British Board of Aggrement certificate and a 10 year warranty.
