Applications ▪ For newbuild applications, where the structure provides continuous support for the insulation slabs ▪ Also suitable for refurbishment projects ▪ For unrestricted use on buildings up to 18 metres and high rise applications, subject to Alumasc’s High Rise policy Performance ▪ BBA approved, fully warranted system with an effective life of 30 years ▪ Manufactured to ISO9001:2008 and ISO14001:2004 Quality and Environmental Management standards ▪ 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 ▪ Reduces heating costs and carbon dioxide emissions ▪ Protects the structural fabric, limiting movement and thermal shock and freeze-thaw cycles associated with traditional brickwork façades ▪ Highly resistant to impact damage, up to category I in accordance with ETAG 004 ▪ The system has a Class O surface spread of flame and can achieve A2 non-combustability as per BS EN 13501-1. High rise applications are subject to the Alumasc High Rise Policy Technical & Project Support ▪ Site surveys, detail design meetings, project specific elevation colour schemes, CAD drawings and product samples, tenant involvement programmes ▪ Detailed project specifications and health and safety and product data sheets ▪ Thermal calculations, condensation risk analysis and wind loading calculations (for high rise projects) Installation & Aftercare ▪ Installed by fully trained Alumasc registered contractors ▪ On-site support from Alumasc’s team of Site Technicians ▪ Aftercare recommendations and documentation ▪ Full package of warranty options Warranties Alumasc offers a comprehensive range of warranty options for the Swistherm External Wall Insulation system including 25 year ECO and Green Deal warranties. Installed exclusively by Alumasc Registered Contractors and underpinned by Alumasc’s extensive project support service. Independent insurance backed latent product defect warranties are also available through FSA licensed brokers. When to Specify A lightweight, thin coat external wall insulation (EWI) system primarily suited to newbuild applications. Swistherm has been designed to assist buildings achieve desired thermal performance levels whilst providing cotemporary aesthetics. This direct-fix system can be installed using a choice of insulation materials to meet u-value requirements and building regulations and is compatible with Alumasc’s range of decorative coatings and brick-effect finishes.
