EWI corner detail - change of material around corner [Version ID #187]
Detail summary
Detail of corner junction between two types of external wall insulation system. Drawn for the junction of EPS and woodfibre insulation systems and appropriate seal detail at junction.
Technical description
Plan detail. EWI junction at external corner with perpendicular wall, EWI carrying round with change of material over corner. EPS insulation system junction with Woodfibre EWI insulation system. Adhesive to join insulation types with render carried round and over join; mastic seal to edge of join projecting beyond render to fully seal.
SUGGESTED INSTALLATION SEQUENCE: 1.) Fix EWI A to existing wall, edge hard up to corner, apply adhesive to exposed edge on corner. 3.) Fix EWI B to wall around corner, line edge up with face of Insulation A. 4.) Mastic seal to joint of insulation types. 5.) Corner reinforcement and render over.
REFERENCE SPECIFICATION:
Care should be taken to ensure air-tightness. Seal all service penetrations through EWI and existing wall. Lap and tape all membranes around edges of EWI system.
All insulation to be continuous to avoid thermal bridging.
Preparation of external wall: Remove any existing loose material and prepare in accordance with manufacturer's requirements.
Any alterations to drainage and other fixtures, or work to prepare the substrate, to be agreed with contract administrator prior to work being undertaken. Prior to start on site inspect the form and condition of the structural substrate; institute repairs and/ or additional works necessary to make the substrate suitable to receive EWI system.
Expanded polystyrene (EPS): To BS EN 13163. Installed by system manufacturer/ contractor approved by manufacturer to weather-tight installation, to resist dead and live loads inc. impact and wind loads. Do not install in adverse weather conditions.
