The Insulated Render and Cladding Association (INCA) 2014 Awards are now open for entries.
Dedicated to excellence in external wall insulation (EWI), the annual awards have been running for over 10 years and play a key role in rewarding innovation in a growing industry which is central to helping the UK to meet its carbon reduction targets.
The awards are a platform to showcase the wide-ranging benefits of EWI, including high levels of energy efficiency, lower energy bills, improved living standards and the regeneration of local communities.
There are six award categories recognising the most successful EW new build and refurbishment projects in the non-residential and domestic sectors from the past year.
Winners will be selected by an independent judging panel of industry experts who will be looking for outstanding thermal performance, a high level of technical difficulty, excellent workmanship and striking design and aesthetics.
Following the successful introduction of the INCA Training Award in 2013, which celebrates the commitment of INCA members to investing in a qualified and skilled workforce, this year sees the launch of the INCA Sustainability Award recognising those who have gone above and beyond to reduce their
carbon footprint.
The entry form can be downloaded at www.inca-ltd.org.uk and the winners will be revealed at the black-tie INCA Awards Dinner on 16 October 2014 at the prestigious Sheraton Park Lane Hotel in London’s Mayfair.
Newly appointed Chairman of the INCA Marketing Committee Anita Houghton said: “I am confident that the INCA 2014 Awards will see a continuation of the
exceptionally high calibre of entries that we have received in previous years. An INCA Award is a true industry benchmark which helps companies to stand out from the crowd and they can be justifiably proud to win one.”
The INCA 2014 Awards are open to all EWI projects where the system designer and contractor are members of INCA and the closing date for entries is Monday 17 March.
