OVERVIEW OF PERMAROCK

Established for nearly 30 years and with a wide range of experience designing and manufacturing external wall insulation and rendering systems, PermaRock’s philosophy of bringing performance and experience together with quality and innovation has culminated in the development of its current portfolio of products and services that acknowledge the requirements of the client, designer and end-user, enabling the creation of attractive, innovative and energy efficient buildings that are aesthetically pleasing and functional.

External wall insulation (ewi) is a technology developed to improve the thermal performance of buildings by the application of an insulating layer and a decorative weatherproof finish applied to the external wall surfaces of a building.
The application of an ewi system has a number of positive benefits:
Improved insulation levels lead to a reduction in heat losses and therefore to a reduced energy demand for heating in the winter months.
Higher levels of insulation help to reduce building overheating in the summer months, thereby reducing the energy demand for cooling.
Reduced energy demands result in lower CO2 emissions.
Interstitial or internal condensation on walls can be eliminated, and the attendant problems of damp internal surfaces and mould growth are overcome.
The building fabric can be protected against the effects of the weather by the insulated cladding.
The building structure is protected from daily environmental temperature changes. Fluctuations in internal temperatures are reduced, leading to more comfortable living and working conditions.
