Consultation

A Trained Energy consultant will call to your home and carry out a comprehensive energy survey throughout your entire house. Once the inspection is completed then based on the findings and your own requirements we will outline a suitable installation plan with respect to insulation requirements and cost. Our home energy survey visit usually lasts about an hour.

Installation

STEP 1: Following an initial site survey by a Protherm assessor- the required type and size of insulation boards
( ECAP ) are mechanically and adhesively fixed to all external walls. This creates an insulation envelope that prevents heat loss and cold bridging, which can occur using other types of insulation, e.g. cavity fill. The air tightness of the house is also dramatically improved at this stage eliminating associated problems with mould and condensation.

STEP 2: The ECAP Prefinished insulation boards are then coated on the joints and fixing holes with a polymer- modified cement basecoat .New window sills are installed with insulation underneath to prevent cold – bridging. A Second coat is then applied with an additional layer of reinforcing mesh to guarantee an excellent impact resistance.

STEP 3: A coloured primer is applied (by roller, brush or spray) to the basecoat when fully dry. (Drying takes approximately 24 hours.) This aids adhesion / water resistance, and also improves the colour uniformity on the final finish.

STEP 4: There are a range of finishes available. Our most popular finish is the acrylic render. A low maintenance coloured and textured acrylic render finish is then applied (troweled or sprayed). There is an extensive pallet of colours and textures to choose from. The final result is a durable low maintenance finish that will only need hosing down to clean every 3 to 5 years.You will not need to paint your home for up to 15 years.
