The External Walls Insulation Process

 THINC™  Wethertex™ External Wall Insulation Process :

Only the highest quality kingspan external K5 insulation boards are fitted using a special adhesive render. This resin based adhesive is very powerful and is buttered onto the rear of the insulation board before being laid onto the wall in bonded brick pattern. The boards are then further secured by being mechanically drilled and pinned to the wall and at the base of the wall the boards sit in a stainless steel or aluminium base rail set at the height of the damp proof course.

Once the thermal cladding boards are in place two layers of a specialist polymer bonding render is trowelled onto the boards and nylon meshed in readiness for the decorative and weather proof  final coat. This forms an incredibly strong bond with the external wall insulation board but also has the ability to flex and breathe so as not to trap moisture in the walls or in the outside insulation itself.

The final weather proof and decorative render is then trowelled on to give a beautiful lightly textured finish . The renders we use on exterior insulation panels are laced with glass fibre strands which allows them to flex with the thermal movement of a property ie crack proof  and to need no decorating or maintenance for at least 20 years.
The finished look often  includes newly extended window cills and repositioned down pipes as a consequence of the extra depth created by the solid wall insulation board system.

Here the home-owner has chosen a Papida brick slip to cover the chimney and lower wall area to add character and interest to the look of the home. As with the render finish brick slips are also affixed directly onto the insulation boards and do offer a different option to all external wall insulation systems on solid wall homes.
