THE RETROFIT PATHWAY
The retrofit pathway always starts with an introduction to the benefits of external wall insulation and rendering. Our customers are presented with countless examples of finalised projects alongside the financial and aesthetic benefits. From there, we delve beyond the polished surface and dissect what makes EWI systems unique.
Our Technical Team is on the road daily, conducting all manners of surveys and tests. This includes thermal imaging and pull-out testing; the information is relayed to the office-based team that processes the data to produce system modelling. Every system model is unique, as every home has quirks and problems. WUFI and Psi testing and modelling reveal all these problem areas. This is where our expert team models specialised system designs to address problem areas and create an uninterrupted thermal envelope.
The customer or installer is then guided to the material stage of our process; we manufacture high-quality basecoats, adhesives, and renders. Trusted suppliers stock them alongside approved insulation boards. Different products will produce different performance, therefore offering options to our customers is crucial. Whilst external wall insulation can represent a significant financial outlay, the payback scale is perfectly acceptable when savings and house value are considered. However, offering the choice of premium products allows our systems to be more accessible at lower price points without sacrificing performance.
Our Training Academy allows our installers to become EWI Pro Approved. The installers are then recommended to our customers as trusted extensions of our services. The commitment to an external wall insulation system comes with continued support from our Technical Team. As we offer warranties on our systems (including the newly-launched Ofgem Innovation Link approved DSP system, which offers a 60-year warranty), we are a constant presence on projects, checking over the work being delivered. We will also inspect all finalised projects to ensure they are completed to the highest standard; a warranty will only be awarded with this stamp of approval.
Given the scope of our services, our support does not stop there. Our team is always a phone call away, and our website is jam-packed with advice and further reading designed to give our customers unparalleled support. The DSP portal allows customers to review their system documentation and warranty whenever they want; they can also raise concerns directly with our Technical Team through the app.
