Bostik has launched the new Climatherm external wall insulation system offers important advantages for work carried out under both the Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) and the Green Deal.
External wall insulation (EWI) is an increasingly popular method of upgrading the energy efficiency of solid wall properties, and demand is set to rise further as the government introduces its two flagship schemes for energy efficient refurbishment.
The Climatherm system comprises insulation, reinforced mesh, base coat and render finish. It offers key benefits in terms of its delivery and visual appearance, and is backed by a comprehensive training scheme.
The innovative system of selling means that those supplying materials as part of the ECO and Green Deal can select from a range of components that meet Bostik’s minimum performance requirements. This allows them to offer the most cost effective solutions to meet end user demand, unlike other EWI systems where products and prices are set. Additionally, a selection of finishes such as Brick Effect Render are available to cater for a broad range of properties, helping to ensure existing building finishes can be matched or a fresh new appearance achieved.
Richard Howells, Sustainable Development Manager at Bostik commented: “A key advantage of the ECO and the Green Deal is that work is tailored to the particular building in question, and we believe the solutions available should be equally as flexible.
"We have developed Climatherm to meet this demand – providing the best options in terms of sourcing components and pricing, as well as catering for different demands in product finishes.”
