Adhesive

Required.

Not required.

Manufacturer guidance

Insulation boards can be mechanically and adhesively fixed or mechanical only. If a plastic pin fixing is used a minimum of 40% of bedding adhesive must be applied to the back of the boards. If a metal pin fixing is used, then bedding adhesive will not be required. If phenolic insulation boards are specified, the boards must be fully bedded and mechanically fixed.

Additional mechanical fixings

SPIT ISO range.

T-FIX-8M range.

T-FIX-8S range.

Manufacturer guidance

The Enhanced EPS Boards are mechanically fixed with WBS approved fixings. Fixing of the phenolic insulation boards may require fixing through the mesh, contact manufacturer for further information. The fixings frequency, type and length are subject pull-out tests and wind load calculations. 

Fire barriers and stops

-

Material

Lamella insulation.

Fixings

TID-MR range.

DHM range.

Manufacturer guidance

Fixing type, length and frequency are all subject to pull-out tests, job-specific detailing and requirements and wind load calculations. Please contact manufacturer for further information.

Movement joints

-

Form with

WBS stainless steel movement joints.

WBS PVC movement joints.

WBS stainless steel surface mounted render stop beads.

WBS PVC surface mounted render stop beads.

Manufacturer guidance

All structural movement joints must be mirrored through the EWI System. As a minimum, incorporate the movement joints every 7–10 m vertically and at every other floor level horizontally. Structural Engineers will be required to confirm how much movement will occur and where movement joints are located in the substrate.

Sealant

Compriband sealing tape between the insulation boards.

Guidance for specification option:

Where movement joints are required.

Render carrier or reinforcement

-

Material

WBS Alkali-resistant scrim cloth incorporated into bedding adhesive.

Mesh size
