EJOT UK’s product range and 360-degree service enables the maximum value and energy saving benefits to be leveraged from external wall insulation (EWI) systems.
The quality and performance of any building system will only ever be as good as its component parts, and this is increasingly being recognised in all areas of construction to achieve more stringent standards and minimum performance levels.
Hence why companies like EJOT, who are involved in the manufacture and supply of products for EWI systems, also known as ETICS (external thermal insulation composite systems), have such a crucial role to play.
EJOT manufactures mechanical anchors, fixings, profiles, beads and mounting elements for post-install items for built-up EWI systems. Any failure in these structural components could mean the built-up layers, including the insulation, are less effective at thermally upgrading the building and deteriorate prematurely, resulting in the need for costly remediation.
To ensure EJOT can support the sector most effectively, it has adopted a three-fold strategy encompassing comprehensive technical development and testing, optimisation of its processes to provide a streamlined and reliable product supply chain, and providing world-class support from design to installation.
Called EJOT UK’s 360-degree service, this starts at the design stage of a system or proposed EWI project when the company works closely with the design team to develop the most effective anchoring approach, as well as pre-dimensioning of mounting elements for planned attachments. Both are critical in ensuring component use and thermal performance is optimised in the ETICS project.
Working closely with EWI systems companies and contractors at an early stage also enables EJOT to specify the optimum suite of EJOT ETICS profiles and beads. The choice of these products impacts on installation efficiency and long-term performance of the EWI system, which is why EJOT’s design team in Germany have created products with innovative detailing to make a significant difference to the quality of the rendered finish, particularly at corners and around reveals such as windows and doors.
As part of EJOT’s on-site service, it also conducts adhesive tests with the profiles and beads to ensure system and performance compatibility
Offering all three product segments means EJOT can provide significant benefits to systems providers by streamlining their supply chain, simplifying ordering, reducing vehicle deliveries to sites and decreasing stockholding. But the advantages are also felt by property developers and landlords too, given the quality consistency and the guarantee of quality that comes with all the ETICS components that carry the EJOT brand.
