Wetherby Building Systems, the UK’s leading provider of external wall insulation solutions, is expanding its business operation with the launch of its first internal wall insulation (IWI) system, EpsiLine, to provide a complete through-wall insulation offering.
Specifically developed to meet an increased demand to improve the energy efficiency of properties yet still maintain their external appearance, the EpsiLine system is one of the most flexible and cost effective IWI solutions on the market.
The new internal wall insulation system carries full BBA approval (cert no: 15/5193) and covers a diverse range of fixing techniques, including dot and dab, direct fix, timber battens and metal furring. It provides a reliable, long-term energy saving benefit, especially on domestic refurbishment projects and is ideal for properties where no cavity exists (solid wall).
The EpsiLine IWI system is available in a wide variety of thicknesses, with a 15mm reveal board being the ideal solution for window and door reveals.
Commenting on the launch of EpsiLine, Wetherby’s technical manager, Joe Ragdale, said: “This is something that just makes sense for us. We have received an unprecedented amount of enquiries for IWI on projects that need to maintain their external appearances, particularly on terraced house schemes that are accessed from a public footpath.
“With wall insulation widely acknowledge to have the greatest impact on regenerating thermally inefficient solid walled homes, we can now offer a complete solution for the entire property. We have already received an influx of enquiries where it is to be used as a hybrid system, with IWI installed to the front of a property - to fulfil planning constraints - and a suitable EWI option is applied to the rear.
To support the launch of the EpsiLine Internal Wall Insulation system, Wetherby is also gearing up for an increase in applicator training courses at its training facilities across the UK and is encouraging experienced dryliners, as well as their own existing recognised contractor base, to take full advantage of the courses on offer to ensure they are adept in installing the new system.
