External Wall Insulation Systems for Commercial Buildings
Modern new-build office and commercial buildings typically demand a combination of good thermal performance to minimise operating costs, and an attractive finish to present a positive public image. Permarock’s products include external wall insulation systems, renders and finishes that ensure these key requirements can be met.
For more than 40 years, our systems have helped to produce attractive, energy efficient buildings that have achieved their designers’ aspirations in terms of sustainability and aesthetics. Examples have included – amongst others – commercial and local authority offices, shared workspaces, galleries and hotels.
Specifiers routinely choose Permarock systems because they offer:
- A proven track record (Permarock introduced the first Mineral Fibre EWI system to the UK in the 1980s)
- A2-s1,d0 systems to BS EN13501-1
- An extensive range of decorative finishes and colour-fast shades
- Category I impact resistance – as standard
- A significant reduction in the demand for heating and cooling, keeping the building warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer
- Design flexibility, with various textures and colours to match branding or community preferences
- Protection of the building fabric by limiting thermal bridging and moisture ingress
- The ability to create designs to the highest standards of energy efficiency
- Excellent acoustic insulation
- The opportunity to achieve very low U-values
- Superior longevity to conventional systems
- Long-term savings on maintenance costs and energy bills
Permarock Mineral Fibre EWI systems (for Masonry, Concrete and Light Gauge Steel Frame substrates) are assessed as suitable for use on residential and non-residential buildings, meeting the requirements of national Building Regulations for England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.
In combination with our third party certification with Kiwa, our mineral fibre EWI systems are suitable for use on a wide variety of commercial properties — including offices, shared workspaces, hotels, galleries, retail premises, and other public or private sector buildings.
Our external wall insulation systems help to minimise routine operating costs by helping to keep buildings warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Workers can enjoy more comfortable, stable conditions indoors, while reduced energy requirements help to cut costs and boost profits.
Fire Safety and High-Rise Buildings
EWI systems based on Permarock’s Mineral Fibre Insulation exhibit excellent reaction to fire performance, and achieve an A2-s1,d0 fire classification in accordance with BS EN 13501-1. Such systems are suited for use on high-rise buildings with floor levels above 11 metres.
