WBS Bulletpoint


EPSITEC


Developed exclusively by WBS, the
EPSITEC system has been designed to satisfy the need for an insulated render system, incorporating a drainage cavity.

Initially developed for the new build market, the EPSITEC system provides an ideal solution for PRC and system built properties, where fixing into the existing structure can prove problematic.

By fixing the Epsitec rails to the existing sound structure or columns, it is possible to eliminate the requirement to drill and mechanically fix directly into the concrete panels, the method of which can often prove difficult to achieve adequate fixing strength or cause damage to the substructure.

Once the rails have been fixed in place, insulation boards span the gap and are fixed securely onto the columns or alternatively directly into the rail itself. The systems allows for a wide range of insulants of varying thicknesses to be used to help meet or exceed current building regulations and U-value calculations.

Following full insulation of the elevation, the system is finally completed via the use of a wide selection of WBS renders and finishes, which gives the completed project an attractive, hard-wearing & weatherproof finish.

All in all, the Epsitec system provides an ideal lightweight economical solution for low, medium and high rise construction that eliminates the need for expensive structural repairs and / or removal of sheeting or panels which realistically assist with the overall insulating properties of the structure.
