External wall insulation

摘要

Kingspan Kooltherm K5 External Wall Board has been used in the refurbishment of 100 prefabricated British Iron and Steel Federation (BISF) homes, in Moss Bank, St Helens. Helena Homes commissioned the project with the aim of extending the life span of the properties by a minimum of 30 years. Initial tests on the homes confirmed their poor thermal performance, achieving a U-value of only 2.09W/m~2K. An external wall insulation (EWI) solution, installed by partner contractor Forrest, was specified by the project design team to improve this.
