Sto helps residential development exceed U-value requirements for excellent thermal performance
A Sto external wall insulation system has maximised thermal effi ciency for more than 240 homes within a new residential development in Bracknell. Working in partnership with BDG and Sto’s authorised installer, Stoneguard, Sto supplied a specifi cation which would enhance the development’s eco-credentials. The StoTherm Mineral K insulation system was selected and designed to achieve a U-value of 0.12 W/m2
K
for the wall structure, exceeding the requirements of building regulations. The BBA-certifi ed StoTherm Mineral K external wall insulation system achieves a reaction to fi re of A2-s1, d0 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 and uses mineral fi bre insulation boards, which optimise thermal effi ciency and fi re protection. Ian Sired, project manager for Sto, said: “A total of 3,750 m2
of StoTherm Mineral was used across this scheme
following extensive preparatory works, including fi xing assessments and wind load calculations. Through close collaboration with BDG and Stoneguard, we were able to develop a system meeting the low U-value target ensuring as little heat as possible is lost through the external wall.”

Insulation_DPR.indd 1 Mapei fi nish chosen for MAC Rendering facade
A Mapei render fi nish has been used to complete an extensive facade project at a property in Sheffi eld. All materials were supplied by ProTec Render Supplies Ltd and installed by Mac Rendering Ltd. During works on the facade, all external elevations were rendered using Mapewall GRP one-coat render. The surface was then reinforced with Mapetherm Net – an alkali-resistant glass fi bre mesh. This was followed with a base layer of Silancolor Base Coat Primer – a silicone resin-based paint featuring micro-granular quartz and selected charges. The surface was then fi nished with Silancolor Tonachino 1.5 mm silicone-resin thin coat render; a fi bre- reinforced, breathable and highly water-repellent textured fi nish. Colour shade 8510 – an off-white tone – was chosen from the Mapei Colour Project range, for both the primer and top coat, to complement the property’s Anthracite Grey-toned roof and windows. “We’ve been using Mapei renders for around 12 months now, on a number of local projects across South Yorkshire. Our skilled installation team fi nd the products extremely easy to use and the quality to be of a high standard.” commented Chris McVann, director of MAC Rendering Ltd.
