Wherever possible, we prefer to become involved in the design element of any contract at the earliest opportunity. This enables us to influence design choices in ways that help to minimise risks and maximise efficiency.

Our early involvement helps clients to:

  • Achieve more thermally effective details
  • Achieve more cost-effective outcomes
  • Overcome potential installation problems
  • Minimise operational / maintenance costs over the life of the system
  • Take full account of important criteria such as thermal resistance, weather resistance, fire performance, durability, impact resistance, etc.

We help to ensure that all factors are properly considered and that every system is tailored to meet property / scheme requirements.

Designing Schemes

When developing scheme designs in line with customer requirements, we undertake visual surveys and in-situ pull-out tests, and produce project specific U-value calculations. We provide all the necessary detailing, specifications and method statements.

We optimise our systems to meet the relevant technical requirements whilst also staying within the scope of third-party accreditation. We also liaise closely with other stakeholders (e.g. structural engineers) to ensure that a correct, workable solution is agreed. This ensures that any structural concerns are reviewed by the relevant professionals before any installation works are undertaken.

Recommendations from these surveys help form the basis of a tailored project specification and extent of works. They are especially important when developing plans for non-traditional or high-rise properties.

All method statements and specifications are tailored on a project-by-project basis to meet the project and archetype requirements. They provide a detailed description of each system’s components and installation procedures, and can include other associated works relevant to the render or external wall insulation scheme.

CAD Detail Drawings

The role of the specifying designer is simplified considerably by the use of Permarock’s support services and CAD drawings (.dwg) which can be provided for standard and bespoke detailing.

These details cover the majority of common system interfaces. Where non-standard details are required, we can provide advice and produce bespoke detail drawings via our in-house design and CAD resource.

Permarock Detail Drawings can be viewed and downloaded in our Technical Hub area.

BIM Objects

Permarock’s product design data is compliant with Level 2 BIM (Building Information Modelling). Permarock BIM objects (IFC / Revit formats) can be viewed and downloaded in our Technical Hub area.

We’re Here to Help

One of the most valuable benefits to specifying a Permarock system is the knowledge that we offer extensive support alongside our products.
