EPSITEC achieves exclusive BBA status

WBS Logo          


After five years of strenuous research and development, Wetherby Building Systems are delighted to announce that the British Board of Agrément have finally awarded them BBA Accreditation on their
EPSITEC External Wall Insulation System.

The Epsitec External Wall Insulation System, is designed for use on sheathed lightweight steel frame and timber frame structures and incorporates a minimum 15mm wide drainage cavity to assist in the free drainage of any moisture which may be present behind the facade, in line with NHBC guidelines.

In conjunction with Kingspan Insulation, WBS selected Kingspan K5-EWB phenolic insulation boards as the material of choice for this system, and as such superb thermal performances and considerably low u-values are easily achievable.

The EPSITEC system can be used on both domestic and non-domestic buildings, including high-rise structures and it is fully fire tested and compliant with BS8414 Part 2.

Despite advertising to the contrary, WBS are the only company in the UK that can offer BBA Certification on this type of system. This makes for a very exciting opportunity for the WBS team who have already been bombarded with enquiries.
