Drained cavity EPS EWI system for steel and timber frame buildings, with options for VBriQ acrylic brick-slips or Silicone TC render finishes.
Application
The system is suited for the upgrade of existing buildings (refurbishment) and for new buildings, particularly where high levels of thermal performance are required.
The System is suitable for low-rise construction, utilising light-weight expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulating panels that incorporate microscopic particles of graphite for enhanced thermal performance.
Description
Exicco is an external wall insulation system that is suitable for steel and timber framed buildings. The drained cavity behind the insulation ensures that any interstitial moisture escapes without detriment to the insulation performance.
A range of aesthetic finishes are available; VBriQ acrylic brick-slips offer a lightweight and highly robust brick finish, whilst Silicone TC thin-coat render provides a highly functional water repellent surface that allows water vapour to pass freely through the render, along with a fresh and modern appearance.
Features and benefits:
- Drained cavity EWI system for steel and timber frame buildings, utilizing light-weight and economical EPS insulation and with a range of finishes available, including acrylic brick slips and thin coat render.
- BBA Certificate: 20/5756 PS1 & PS2
