MSR is the leading insulated Rendering specialist covering Basildon and the whole of Essex County.
Insulating solid walls with external wall rendering can help reduce some of the 35% of heat loss that occurs from this area of a property. Insulated rendering is a fantastic solution that can insulate older properties and those that don’t have post-1930s walls with no cavity. Insulated rendering has a greater impact on the energy efficiency of a property than brand new A-rated double glazing or a new condensing gas boiler.
The U-value (measurement of heat loss – the lower the number the better) of a typical 220mm solid brick wall is between 1.9 to 2.2W/m²K – applying 100mm of the insulated pro expanded polystyrene (EPS) solution with mechanical fixings, reinforcing adhesive and a silicone-silicate render should bring down the U-value of the walls to 0.27W/m²K (better than current building regulations for new builds – 0.28W/m²K).
Our insulated rendering systems also provide a significant upgrade to the appearance of your property. We offer a huge range of different finishes, including different render granularity, almost limitless colors, brick slips, and even pebble dash systems.
How is external solid wall insulation installed?
Insulated rendering is installed by applying a layer of EPS to the outside of the exposed walls of your home. The material is stuck to the walls initially with concrete adhesive and then reinforced by mechanical fixings and plastic caps.
The system is further reinforced by a layer of adhesive and reinforcement mesh before a final render is added.
The system should prove to be a durable solution, lasting the test of weather and time, whilst providing superb insulating performance.
