Installing Solid Wall Insulation in winter

Installing Solid Wall Insulation in the winter months

In the UK, we nor­mally expe­ri­ence quite pro­longed peri­ods of cold weather dur­ing the win­ter months. This cou­pled with the reduced day­light really ham­per the abil­ity to install solid wall insu­la­tion dur­ing those months. The dif­fer­ent lay­ers within the solid wall insu­la­tion sys­tem take longer to dry and there­fore this can drive up the cost of instal­la­tion since the works take longer to com­plete. Another issue is the potential rainfall during the autumn and winter months, which can result in water ingress and damp. Read more about damp here!

The great news is that we can offer the EWI Pro fast dry­ing win­ter min­eral ren­der sys­tem dur­ing these cooler months at no extra cost to home­own­ers. The sys­tem dries that much quicker than our Sil­i­cone Sil­i­cate ren­der solid wall insu­la­tion sys­tem and there­fore it allows us to carry out the install in the same time frame despite the weather being cooler and our teams being on site for shorter peri­ods of time.

Quick Drying Adhesives & Renders!

The main com­po­nent of our win­ter solid wall sys­tem is EWI-221, a quick dry­ing adhe­sive, that offers many of the same unique qual­i­ties of our EWI-220 and EWI-225 adhe­sives (the ones we use nor­mally for EPS and min­eral wool respec­tively), except it goes off much quicker. This adhe­sive is incred­i­bly strong and so we are still able to offer our 25 year war­ranty on our win­ter solid wall insu­la­tion sys­tems.

If you have got fund­ing via a Gov­ern­ment scheme like GDHIF or a local bor­ough Green Deal Com­mu­nity Fund then it might be a pre-req­ui­site that you install the solid wall insu­la­tion and claim your grant by a cer­tain time. By offer­ing our win­ter sys­tem, Be Con­struc­tive can now install solid wall insu­la­tion all year around – help­ing peo­ple meet the strict dead­lines on their grant vouch­ers. We’ve also put together a blog detailing tips for rendering in the rain and adverse weather.
