Frequently Asked Questions

EWI and Rendering

What is External Wall Insulation (EWI)?

EWI is the process of attaching a layer of insulation board or material to an existing solid wall. It is then finished with a render coat to protect the insulation from the elements.

What is Silicone Render?

Silicone Render is the finishing element, the final coat of a thin coat render or external wall insulation system. This finishing coat is textured and tinted to any colour, providing an almost endless combination of finishes.

What is Monocouche Render?

The EWI-090 Monocouche Render is a high-performance cement-based, through-coloured scratch render. This decorative render has been designed with water-repellence, breathability, and durability in mind. The material base is comprised of premium quality Portland cement, hydrated lime, polymers, and modifying admixtures.

What products and materials will I need for my project?

We have designed a quick, easy, and fuss-free Materials Calculator that accurately lists all the materials and allows you to receive a personalised quote for the materials your project requires. Please watch our YouTube video to understand how to use the Materials Calculator.

We have an extensive network of approved and recommended installers. If you are looking for an installer in your area, please inquire by filling out the form here.
