MSR is the leading insulated readering specialist covering Basildon and the whole of Essex County.

Insu­lat­ing solid walls with exter­nal wall rendering can help reduce some of the 35% of heat loss that occurs from this area of a prop­erty. Insulated rendering is a fan­tas­tic solu­tion that can insu­late older prop­er­ties and those that that don’t have post-1930s walls with no cavity. Insulated rendering has a greater impact on the energy effi­ciency of a prop­erty than brand new A-rated dou­ble glaz­ing or a new con­dens­ing gas boiler.

The U-value (measurement of heat loss – the lower the number the better) of a typical 220mm solid brick wall is between 1.9 to 2.2W/m²K – applying 100mm of the insulated pro expanded polystyrene (EPS) solution with mechanical fixings, reinforcing adhesive and a silicone-silicate render should bring down the U-value of the walls to 0.27W/m²K (better than current building regulations for new builds – 0.28W/m²K).

Our insulated rendering systems also provide a significant upgrade to the appearance of your property. We offer a huge range of different finishes, including different render granularity, almost limitless colours, brick slips and even pebble dash systems.

How is external solid wall insulation installed?

Insulated rendering is installed by apply­ing a layer of EPS to the out­side of the exposed walls of your home. The mate­r­ial is stuck to the walls ini­tially with con­crete adhe­sive and then rein­forced by mechan­i­cal fix­ings and plas­tic caps.

The sys­tem is fur­ther rein­forced by a layer of adhe­sive and rein­force­ment mesh before a final ren­der is added.

The sys­tem should prove to be a durable solu­tion, last­ing the test of weather and time, whilst pro­vid­ing superb insu­lat­ing per­for­mance.
