EWI corner detail - change of material around corner [Version ID #340]
Detail summary
Detail of corner junction between Woodfibre and EPS foam external wall insulation; with an appropriate seal detail at junction. EPS insulation to be used where thinner insulant required.
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:
- Fix EWI A to existing wall, edge hard up to corner.
- Apply adhesive to exposed edge on corner.
- Fix EWI B to wall around corner, line edge up with face of Insulation A.
- Mastic seal to joint of insulation types.
Corner reinforcement and render over.
Reference Specification:
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.
Notes
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.
Existing Services
Gas Meters and Inlets: Gas meters and inlets to be left in-situ. Insulation to be fitted round them as closely as possible, whilst ensuring they are still properly ventilated. Care should be taken when excavating close to gas mains.
Soil Pipes: An assessment of the condition of soil pipes should be undertaken prior to external wall insulation being undertaken. Assume soil pipes will remain in situ unless agreed in by contract administrator. However in some cases pipes may need to be replaced/ moved. Any changes to existing pipework to be agreed in writing by the contract administrator before work starts.
Rainwater Pipes and Waste Water Drainage: Rainwater pipes and waste water pipes will be moved to the outer face of insulation as standard, and swan-necked back into gulleys where possible. Any work additional to this should be agreed in writing with the contract administrator.
Windows and doors: Where windows and doors are to be replaced in insulation please refer to contract/window schedules for details. Where windows and doors are to be retained in insulation please refer to relevant detail drawings to show reveal insulation and cills.
