The recent fire tests, including those conducted in Australia, have raised awareness about the potential risks associated with certain insulation materials, such as polystyrene. These tests revealed that some polystyrene insulation systems could behave similarly to the cladding that contributed to the tragic Grenfell Tower fire. As a result, there is growing concern over the safety of widely-used insulation materials in the UK.
At WP Rendering, we are proud to be government-approved installers who follow the strict standards set by the British Board of Agrément (BBA). This certification ensures that the materials and systems we use meet the most rigorous safety and performance requirements. We prioritise the safety of your property while improving its energy efficiency and aesthetics.
External wall insulation can significantly reduce energy consumption and create a more comfortable living environment. However, the importance of choosing safe, certified materials cannot be overstated. Polystyrene-based systems, for instance, may be effective insulators but should only be installed by professionals who are aware of and comply with current safety regulations. Our team at WP Rendering ensures that every installation is compliant with UK building regulations, giving you peace of mind that your insulation will not only perform well but also protect your home or building.
The findings from the Australian fire tests further underline the necessity of choosing a qualified, certified installer who uses high-quality, tested materials. We ensure that every insulation system we install is backed by rigorous testing, making sure it is both energy-efficient and fire-safe.
