The WBS Epsitherm Insulation System offers a versatile, cost effective solution for both new build and refurbishment applications. It is ideal for use on a variety of substrates including brickwork, blockwork, steel frame, timber frame and structurally insulated panels (SIPS).
WBS Epsitherm insulation boards are manufactured without the use of CFCs or HCFCs and therefore have a zero ODP.
Epsitherm offers improved U-values in comparison to standard EPS with a thermal conductivity as low as 0.030 W/m²K.
WBS Epsitherm can be finished using a variety of final finishes or textures, including silicone & acrylic renders, cementitious renders, dashing aggregates and brick slips.

- Epsibrick Brick Slips: The basis of the WBS Epsibrick Brick Slip System is the specially profiled galvanised steel/ stainless steel brick mesh which is fixed directly onto the EWI system. The mesh is fixed using specialist fasteners of the appropriate length to give a suitable penetration into all types of substrate, which must comply with wind loading requirements. Due to the overall weight of the system, it is recommended that WBS brick slips are only used up to three storeys. - Epsibrick 7 mm Brick Slips: WBS Epsibrick 7 mm Brick Slip System incorporating real clay brick slips adhesively fixed to a high impact, reinforced basecoat. The reduced brick slip thickness makes this an extremely durable, lightweight system, offering a wide range of colours, enabling tenants to retain the look of their original brick façade. -Epsicoat Mineral Render Plus: A unique through coloured mineral render requiring no painting or sealer coat. This system allows application in lower temperatures/ higher humidity and is rainproof within 2 hours. Available in 8 standard colours. Details of the Epsicoat Mineral Render Plus system can be found at: www.wbs-ltd.co.uk/wetherby-systems/system-finishes/mineral-renders/mineral-render-plus/ -Heck ED Mineral Render: A high performance mineral render allowing quicker drying times in lower temperatures/ higher humidity. Heck ED Mineral Render requires 2 coats of silicone paint, tinted to the colour of the clients choice with 100's of options available through our NCS colour range.
