Protect Thermal Performance Without Compromising On Style

SMET have introduced EasylationWall, an innovative new
External Wall Insulation (EWI) system to the UK and Irish market.

Based on brick slips utilising natural stone or ceramics, EasylationWall is the very latest in easy-to-use, industry-leading EWI technology, and results in improved thermal performance of the building and a stunning façade finish in keeping with the area.EasylationWall delivers high insulation values through use of an XPS system. The materials are made of extruded polystyrene hard foam while the high density insulation boards have a high thermal resistance and excellent impact resistance, delivering
extremely durable end results.Due to the sealed cell structure,the system is damp proof and offers many unique characteristics.EasylationWall is therefore also a perfect solution to challenges in the areas of artistic design combined with thermal insulation.
EasylationWall can be installed in new-builds and renovation projects and is also very suited to off-site construction systems such as timber-frame, steel-frame and prefab-concrete construction.
Benefits of EasylationWall include:
• Any type of stone can be used- brick, natural stone or ceramic
• Quick to assemble – easy to apply
• High insulation value through use of XPS system
• Dry construction method -not weather dependent
• No cold bridges and moisture regulating
• Thermal insulation and acoustic solution in one system
Thermal insulation is the key element in the energy reduction challenge. Buildings are responsible for almost 50% of the UK’s energy consumption and carbon emissions. Given the UK Government’s support for the Kyoto Protocol and its challenging targets for the reduction of carbon emissions, reducing the energy consumption attributable to buildings is a key policy objective*.EasylationWall has been fully equipped to meet the challenging reduction in energy with its superior thermal insulation
properties. In fact, even greater energy efficiency can be achieved because applications may be up to 300mm insulation thickness.
For example, using a 140 mm insulation board onto a single leaf wall construction and a brick slip, a U-value of 0.2 W/m²K is reached. However, using a 200mm insulation board achieves a U value of 0.16W/m²K. Ultimately, utilising a 300 mm insulation board, a U-value of 0.11 W/m²K is achievable.
The brick slips are created by cutting a shell of approximately 22mm thickness off a complete,whole brick. This is possible with almost any type of brick – clay fired brick, concrete brick and calcium silicate brick. In addition to flat slips, corner slips (L-shaped) and half bricks can also be created.Any type of natural stone or ceramic may be utilised to create the brick slip finish.
