EWI, RENDER & BRICK SLIP SYSTEMS

CWS have embraced modern methods of construction
External wall finishes play a vital role in both the performance and appearance of a building. Systems such as External Wall Insulation (EWI), render finishes, and brick slips provide modern, efficient solutions that enhance thermal performance while delivering a high-quality external finish.

External Wall Insulation (EWI)

EWI systems are designed to improve a building’s energy efficiency by adding an insulating layer to the outside of external walls. This reduces heat loss, eliminates cold bridging, and helps lower energy costs.

Installed using proven systems like minded manufacturers, EWI typically consists of insulation boards mechanically fixed or adhesively bonded to the substrate, followed by a reinforced basecoat and a decorative finish.

Key benefits include:

Improved thermal performance and energy efficiency

Reduced heating costs

Enhanced weather protection

Minimal disruption to internal spaces

Render Systems

Render systems provide a protective and decorative finish to external walls. Modern renders are available in a wide range of colours and textures, offering flexibility in design while maintaining durability.
Common render types include:

Silicone renders

highly breathable and water-resistant

Acrylic renders

flexible and crack-resistant

Mineral renders

traditional appearance with modern performance
Render systems are often used as the finishing layer over EWI but can also be applied directly to suitable substrates. They provide a clean, contemporary look while protecting the building from the elements.
Brick Slip Systems
Brick slip systems offer the appearance of traditional brickwork without the need for full brick construction. Thin slices of real brick are fixed onto prepared backing systems, creating an authentic finish with reduced weight and faster installation.
Advantages include:

Authentic brick appearance

Reduced structural load

Faster installation compared to traditional brickwork

Compatibility with modern construction methods

A Complete External Solution
By combining EWI, render, and brick slip systems, with our other framing solutions it’s possible to achieve both high performance and striking visual results. Whether you’re looking for a sleek rendered finish or a traditional brick aesthetic, these systems provide flexible, efficient solutions for modern construction.
