As a company we have been in the Render Industry for many years, our product range consists of fully BBA & DIBT certified systems that includes a range of render and brick slip systems alongside various insulation types. We also hold KIWA/ BDA accreditation for our Modular Facade Systems.

Choosing Wetherby as your SWI (Solid Wall Insulation) partner will see you benefit from unrivalled expertise, superior product quality, exceptional technical support and a flexible partner, who will work with you at every stage of the project to ensure your desired result is achieved. We have been at the forefront of the SWI industry for more than 20 years and have continually adapted and developed our product offering and support services to meet the changing needs of our customers and their clients.

For render projects that simply need a freshen up or if you are looking to change the colour of the facade, we recommend our Wetherby Silicone Paint & Stain. A flexible and anti-crack formulation that can be matched to any NCS, RAL, BS or even competitor colours. Wetherby Silicone Paint is a highly water repellent silicone resin emulsion paint. It is a high-quality, eco-friendly and open porous coating providing increased water resistance whilst still allowing the insulated render system to breathe.

Volumetric construction (often referred to as modular construction) involves the production of three-dimensional units in controlled factory conditions, prior to transportation to site. While Wetherby have always supplied Insulated Render Systems Systems for this construction type, the increased popularity of Modular Build has provided an opportunity for continuous development. The modular facade system comprises of a unique interlocking design on larger 1200mm x 1200mm high density EPS insulation boards, providing superior strength and resilience, while reducing board installation times.

As well as domestic housing, rising heating costs are forcing owners to re-assess energy consumption in commercial and leisure buildings. External wall insulation will achieve the same goals on these buildings as domestic, reducing heating bills, improving the environment and rejuvenating the external faade. Wetherby's Technical Team are happy to provide a complete service from U-value calculations, through detailed specification, to material guidance to ensure the client achieves the best possible savings and external finish available.

The UK's housing stock is among the least energy efficient in Europe and is responsible for nearly a quarter of the country's annual carbon emissions. With most of the properties built long before energy conservation and carbon saving. With around a third of a building's heat lost through the walls, insulating them is one of the quickest and most effective ways to improve energy efficiency, while transforming the exterior aesthetics of a property. As a result, recent years have seen a huge growth in the use of solid wall insulation, particularly following government-funded initiatives as local authorities, housing associations and private customers have turned to the solution as a way of avoiding demolition of ageing properties with refurbishment.

Wetherby are purely product suppliers and do not carry out any installations or contract work. However, we do have a wide network of experienced installer partners, where the company are familiar with our systems and have installers who have completed our training courses. While we include a range of companies who meet the criteria on our recommended list, many other companies purchase our materials from our Trade Counters. If you have an independent plasterer/ builder installing the system we are happy to speak to them regarding application, just direct them to our Technical Helpline on 0800 107 3299.

Thermal Insulation used as part of an External Wall Insulation system can dramatically improve the thermal performance of a building and can also help with preserving the existing building fabric by eliminating any risks to condensation. Wetherby offer multiple insulation options as part of a full external facade system dependant on your system requirements.
