Application

Suitable for use on the outside of steel or timber frame walls of new or existing domestic and non-domestic buildings, with height and boundary restrictions (see systems KIWA certificate for further information).

Description

A KIWA BDA certified system consisting of either vertical timber battens or cavity spacer rails, Enhanced EPS insulation board, basecoated, meshed, finished off with brick slip finish. A second option of stone slips which incorporate a stainless-steel mesh for the system.

Features and benefits:

Moisture control contribute to limiting the risk of interstitial and surface condensation.
Will resist wind-driven rain penetration across the partially ventilated cavity to the supporting wall.
Designed to adequately resist impact damage and wind loads normally encountered in the UK.
Classified as European class A1 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 when incorporating Wetherby Cavity Spacer Rails.
Classified as European class A2-s1, d0 in accordance with BS EN 13501-1 when incorporating timber battens.
Improves the thermal performance of external walls and can contribute to satisfying the requirements of the National Building Regulations.
Service life durability of the System will depend on the environment (operating conditions) in which the System will be used.

Preparation:

All sheathing boards must achieve minimum pull out requirements to be suitable for the system application.
The substrate to receive the WBS system must be completely dry and not damaged by rain/ frost to reduce the board performance in any way.
The board manufacturer should be consulted and pull-out tests redone before continuing if rain/ frost damage is evident.
The substrate shall be clean and structurally sound.
Sheathing boards /panel substrates should be line and level ensuring RagRails can be installed flush to the substrate.
Slight variances in the substrate can be overcome by using suitable packers to ensure the system is installed line and level.
If the walls are not line and level, the fixing lengths must be checked to ensure adequate embedment into the sheathing board /frame substrate. This will need to be confirmed on site prior to the installation of the Wetherby system.
Sizing of flashings, trims and beads may also require alterations.
Where packing out of the RagRail or Timber Batten is required, the fixing lengths may need to be increased. This will need to be confirmed on site prior to the installation of the Wetherby system.
All sheathing boards must be securely fixed, correctly jointed and sealed (where required) as per the board manufacturer instructions.
Treatment to Existing Timber/ Steel Cladding – Remove any defective areas of the existing substrate and where required make repairs ensuring the surface is ready to receive the EWI system.
The existing walls are to be cleaned to the satisfaction of the Contract Administrator, to remove any friable material, algae or lichen.
WBS Biocidal Wash can be used to treat areas of moss, algae and mould growth.

The above would all be subject to Job Specific Detailing, including Pull Out Tests and Wind Load Calculations. Manufacturer guidance The RagRails or Timber Battens help to create a drainage cavity between the Sheathed frame and External Wall Insulation. This cavity will then allow for any moisture located within these areas to track down and drain out, either from the bottom of the system or into specifically designed drainage boxes. Rails or Timber Battens should be installed vertically at 600 mm centres and around windows ensuring the insulation boards are fully supported.
Bracket fixings	LS 5.5 (steel frame). R-QCP (timber frame).

Fire barriers and stops	-
Material	Stone Wool/ Horizontal Lamella Fire Barriers. Guidance for specification option: Mechanically fix fire breaks horizontally at agreed locations using stainless steel fixings and washers (as per Wetherby Detail Drawings). Fire breaks must be fully supported by the cavity spacer rails/ timber battens to ensure stability. Stone Wool/ Vertical Lamella Fire Barriers. Guidance for specification option: Mechanically and adhesively fix fire breaks vertically direct back to the sheathing board at agreed locations and at a rate of four stainless steel fixings per board minimum. Tenmat Intumescent Strip. Guidance for specification option: Intumescent strips must be screw fixed in place at 250 mm maximum centres, using a non-combustible screw with a head of no more than 11.5 mm diameter. They should be mechanically fixed at agreed locations to form horizontal, and if specified, vertical fire breaks in the cavity. or fixing lamella/ stone wool fire barriers, an adequate stainless steel washer will be required, please contact WBS for further information regarding this.
Fixings	TKE Range – Steel Frame. Guidance for specification option: Typically used to fix fire barrier and intumescent strips to their agreed locations (Rail/ Sheathing Board/ Steel Frame).

Manufacturer guidance All structural movement joints must be mirrored through the EWI System. As a minimum, a render system should incorporate the movement joints every 7–10 m vertically and at every other floor level horizontally. Structural Engineers will be required to confirm how much movement will occur and where movement joints are located in the substrate and give an indication where the joints will need to be installed. All movement joints and surface render beads must be fully meshed in, applying silicone sealant where necessary.
Sealant	Compriband sealing tape must be installed between the insulation boards.

Fixings	TKE screw range. Guidance for specification option: Combined with the relevant cap/ washer this fixing is typically used for the main fixings installed through the mesh Normally specified when fixing into the RagRail/ Cavity Spacer Rail. R-UCF screw range. Guidance for specification option: Combined with the relevant cap/ washer this fixing is typically used for the main fixings installed through the mesh. Only specified specify when fixing into the timber batten. Manufacturer guidance Secondary mechanical fixings are required on all projects 2 storeys and above at a rate of 1 per m² as per BRE Report BR135:2013. NHBC require in all cases that a minimum of one non-combustible fixing is installed through the reinforcement mesh per insulation board, in addition to other fixings. Install secondary fixings through the first pass of wet scrim adhesive and WBS Alkali Resistant Scrim Cloth. 100 x 100 mm scrim patches to be installed over each secondary fixing head. NHBC require in all cases that a minimum of one non-combustible fixing is installed through the reinforcement mesh per insulation board, in addition to other fixings. All fixing types, lengths and frequency subject to pull out tests and wind load calculations. Finally scratch scrim adhesive horizontally in preparation for the Wetherby 9–25 mm Brick Slips. Temporarily position WBS Brick Slip Mesh over the insulation boards, align the sheets using a string line or level leaving a 5 mm gap horizontally between sheets and ensuring the correct spacing for the slips vertically. Temporarily fix the sheets with WBS Firtree fixings. Once the sheets are in place, mechanically fix the mesh at a rate of 12 fixings per sheet as per the Wetherby fixing pattern (please contact Wetherby regarding the fixing pattern of the brick slip mesh). Ensure fixings are installed at maximum 300 mm centres at building corners and around any openings.
Render	-
Material	Brick Slip Adhesive. Guidance for specification option: Trowel apply full spread of Brick Slip Adhesive to the scrim adhesive. Use a 10 mm notched trowel to ensure minimum 5 mm thickness is achieved. WBS 9-25mm Brick Slips. Guidance for specification option: WBS Brick Slips should be cleaned before application ensuring all slips are free of residue. Whilst the brick slip adhesive is wet the brick slips can be firmly pushed into the adhesive. Brick slips should be installed line and level and staggered leaving a consistent joint. NB. Brick Slips are manufactured using raw natural ceramics and will inevitably vary in nature. Natural variations in colour, texture and dimensions may be present. It is advisable to mix slips from at least 5 boxes to minimize grouping of colours. Any product deemed faulty or out of tolerance should not be applied and should be reported to Wetherby immediately. WBS Pointing Mortar. Guidance for specification option: Once brick slips have set, point up with WBS Pointing Mortar using a pointing gun. Shape mortar to desired joint type using a pointing trowel. Care should be taken not to apply WBS Pointing Mortar onto the brick slip face or pistols as this can be very difficult to remove. Once pointing mortar is dry, brush down the wall to remove all loose mortar etc.
