Wraptite® protection for cliff top dwelling
Sto brings colour and detailing to new housing development
Sto’s specialist facade solutions have ensured a new affordable housing development seamlessly integrates with its surroundings. Externally, the scheme features the StoTherm Mineral external wall insulation system, which has been finished with StoSilco silicone render in a pale shade of yellow, and a variety of StoDeco three-dimensional profiles to add architectural detailing across the building. The Sto render has provided a high level of water repellence and water vapour permeability, making the facade resistant to the build-up of dirt and reducing the growth of algae and fungus. The StoDeco profiles were specified to create window surrounds in pure white, corner detailing around the roof area, and a decorative band course across the facade. The StoDeco profiles are highly resistant to weather and other environmental factors. The StoTherm Mineral external wall insulation system provides unrivalled fire protection and thermal efficiency.

The Wraptite external air barrier system from A. Proctor Group, selected as part of the redesign and extension of a residential property on the Essex coast, will improve energy efficiency and protection from the elements. Designed by AFT Design architects, the works comprise a significant conversation project. The existing detached residential dwelling on the clifftop at Frinton on Sea was partly demolished and extended with large attractive single-storey extensions constructed to the rear elevation and roof level. Both extensions comprise a light gauge steel LGS panelised system, including a sheathing board and Wraptite installed by Nexus Modular. In addition, a proprietary Wetherby rendered cladding system will subsequently cover the LGS panelised system. Bill Attwell, Director of Nexus Modular, explains why Wraptite, the only self-adhering vapour permeable air barrier certified by the BBA, was selected: “We chose Wraptite for the breather membrane because of its strength and durability. In addition, the self-adhesive fixing of Wraptite, rather than the traditional staples and mechanical fixing, assisted with the durability in the high wind conditions prevalent on the cliff-side location. The self-adhesive application of Wraptite simplifies the installation and provides a totally durable solution.
