Structural External Wall Insulation
What the product is
Structherm’s Structural External Wall Insulation (SEWI) differs from traditional insulated render systems in that it does not rely on support or restraint from the existing cladding elements, but spans between structural frame members.
This is especially useful where existing cladding may be fragile and easily damaged by a high frequency of drilled holes for fixings.
Similarly with existing, thin concrete cladding panels, as they are also likely to spall on their rear face during drilling operations thus reducing the safe working load for mechanical fixings, although outwardly, the panels may appear sound.
A 24-26mm thick rendered finish to the face of the system, contributes to the systems flexural stiffness, and exceptional impact and abrasion resistance.
The systems are cost effective method of re-using or retaining existing components and extending the life of a structure, as well as enabling remedial work in nearly all situations to be carried out whilst people remain in the buildings.
The SEWI Systems, whether used as over cladding or as re-cladding, provide methods of refurbishment sympathetic to the original constructional systems and their present condition, and offer a viable alternative to demolition.
System Options
The system has various options offering clients a choice of wire, insulant and surface finish to suit individual requirements.
