Exterior wall insulation system
A collaboration between Pittsburgh Corning, manufacturers of Foamglas, and Telling Lime Products, has resulted in the creation of an exterior wall insulation system.
Using the Foamglas product, W+F Slab, which is impervious to water, the new system ensures there is no seepage of water into a poor external wall surface.
The W+F Slab is bonded direct to the existing wall and then followed by a bonding layer and a glass-fibre reinforcing mesh and then a lime render. Available in fine, medium or coarse textures they are through-coloured.

Produced for use with ventilated fa?ade rain screen cladding systems, Pittsburgh Corning has introduced the Foamglas W&F fa?ade insulation system. Manufactured from pure glass, the insulation has a totally closed cell construction. It is therefore impervious to the effects of water and water vapour, as well as being completely non-combustible, the company claims. The fa?ade system minimises cold bridging as all joints are fully sealed and there are no mechanical fasteners to penetrate the layer. Furthermore, the thermal insulation value will remain constant for the lifetime of the building.This product appeared in Building Products more than 12 months ago.
