Swistherm External Wall Insulation

Swistherm is a thin coat insulated render system suited to contemporary and new build applications. Insulation slabs are mechanically fixed direct to a continuous substrate with the choice of materials comprising Mineral Wool for non-combustibility, Expanded Polystyrene for economy and Cork as the sustainable option. Swistherm is faced with Alumasc’s range of Silicone or Mineral renders which can be applied with rolled or dragged surface texture, in a wide range of colours.

The Swistherm Insulated Render system, with Mineral Wool insulation and lightweight Silicone render provided a high performance, weathertight façade solution at the Tradewinds Apartments, London. More...

Applications New Build – where structure provides continuous support for insulation slabs Construction Types – Primarily suited to new-build construction types Buildings up to 6 Storeys – suited for unrestricted use High Rise applications - suitable subject to Alumasc’s high rise policy

Performance BBA approved, fully warranted system with life expectancy in excess of 30 years Fully weather resistant whilst remaining vapour permeable Allows the fabric of the building to act as a heat store, increasing thermal efficiency Eliminates cold bridging, condensation and mould growth 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

Insulation & Finishes Choice of insulation thicknesses and materials, achieving very low U-values Insulation is mechanically fixed direct to continuous substrate Lightweight, through-coloured render finishes include ST Silicone and Mineral Eco-friendly option consisting Mineral Wool or Cork insulation with Mineral render
