Insulated Systems
Knauf Warm wall systems are a highly effective and cost-efficient way of insulating old and new buildings to create thermally efficient properties, whilst enabling creative design opportunities. Warm Wall Basis is a basic system for increasing thermal performance. Warm Wall Energy is a tongue and grooved polystyrene insulation which helps to eliminate cold bridging in façades. Warm Wall Plus offers thermal efficiency, sound reduction and superior fire protection. Warm Wall Duo is used to upgrade existing externally insulated systems to meet demanding thermal values. Warm Wall Nature is a natural system of insulating an external façade and combines the use of natural materials to provide a thermally efficient environment for new build projects. Warm Wall Slimtherm uses Phenolic insulation as its base, is highly thermally efficient and offers a reduced façade thickness. Warm Wall Cavity Rail is suitable for new build properties and meets the requirements of the NHBC for residential properties built from timber or light weight steel frames and which require an external wall insulation system.
Framed Systems
The range of framed systems offers solutions for covering insulated render systems and render only systems for steel and timber-framed buildings. Products include Steel Frame Render Only, Timber Frame Render Only, Steel Frame Warm Wall, Timber Frame Warm Wall, Steel Frame Cavity Rail and Timber Frame Cavity Rail.
