Knauf Warm Wall systems are the most cost effective way to insulate new and existing buildings, providing efficient thermal properties and allowing for creative design.
An external wall insulation system will provide a weatherproof skin to the building with great thermal performance. With a continuous layer of insulation encapsulating the building the risk of thermal bridges and interstitial condensation can be avoided.
Knauf Warm Wall systems and finishes are designed to be low maintenance, and with good building management and inspections will provide performance and longevity throughout the building’s lifespan.
By placing insulation on the outside of the building the internal floor space is not compromised and creates a `tea cosy` effect around the building. Warm Wall systems are not restricted in thickness like cavity wall construction and can be used in certain circumstances up to 400mm in thickness.
By using a Warm Wall system on a project you will make a real impact on reduction of CO2 emissions and improved thermal performance to meet or exceed part L Building Regulations. Knauf systems will lower energy bills for the building occupier and enable the occupants to have a comfortable internal temperature.
Solid concrete walls, brick construction, block work, and steel or timber framed construction are all possible with a Warm Wall system, and being able to meet NHBC standards for residential projects with a cavity rail system means all bases are covered by the Knauf system.
Choices of colour, texture and grain size offer a wide range of design possibilities, giving the building designer great scope for flair, creativity and flexibility in design.
Knauf is a family name, and a corporate group of global dimensions, founded in 1932 by the brothers Karl and Dr Alfons N Knauf, today the company is still managed by the family members who strive to provide quality solutions for building materials around the globe.
