The original façade of these buildings was of a rough cast render and therefore a scratch back render was specified as the finish. Due to its thickness the client wanted to minimise the insulation board thickness so that the overall finish would be manageable and practical to apply on site. Therefore a phenolic board was chosen as the insulation board as this can produce the same U value as many other boards with a thinner section.

Lawtech Ltd is a leading subcontractor for many of the façade material suppliers. We are able to provide assistance in the design and installation of various cladding systems including lightweight steel frame infill structures, external wall insulation (EWI), anti-crack render systems, NHBC insulated render systems, concrete repairs and specialist coatings. Our modern philosophy towards contracting is based on the principals of partnering with our clients and an open attitude towards achieving a contract completed on time, in budget and of exceptional quality. Lawtech Ltd is involved in both the new build and refurbishment market and has a proven track record and enjoys working closely with key clients including local authorities, housing associations, main contractors and the MOD.
