Swisspan is an insulated render system used to overclad existing properties where the possibilities for mechanical fixing are restricted to structural elements – typically structural frames with non load-bearing steel or concrete infill panels and non-traditional house types such as Airey Duo Slab, BISF, Cornish, Crudens and Unity. Insulation materials are mechanically fixed to a galvanised steel horizontal support rail system that spans between structural columns, and are then faced with a choice of M.R. Polymer modified renders.
Applications
- Refurbishment - where structure does not provide continuous support for insulation
- Construction Types – Primarily suited to refurbishment applications
- Ideal for problematic substrates or uneven remodelling applications
- Buildings up to 4 Storeys – suited for unrestricted use

Performance
- BBA approved, fully warranted system with life expectancy in excess of 30 years
- Fully weather resistant whilst remaining vapour permeable
- Integrated rail system provides secure fixing and load transfer to underlying structure
- Allows the fabric of the building to act as a heat store, increasing thermal efficiency
- Eliminates cold bridging, condensation and mould growth
- Reduces heating costs and carbon dioxide emissions
- Protects structural fabric, limiting movement and thermal shock and freeze-thaw cycles associated with traditional brickwork façades
- Highly resistant to impact damage
- Rated Class 0 for surface spread of flame
- Contributes to sound reduction within external wall construction
