From funded retrofit programmes to offsite modular manufacture and high-rise recladding, Licata systems are specified wherever performance, compliance and technical support matter.
Retrofit & Solid Wall Insulation
External wall insulation is one of the most effective ways to decarbonise the UK's solid wall housing. Licata supplies complete EWI systems for funded retrofit, supporting councils, housing associations and installers delivering the Warm Homes Plan, ECO and social housing decarbonisation programmes.
New Build Housing & Commercial
Render and EWI systems for new build developments, helping housing, commercial and education projects meet Part L and the Future Homes Standard with contemporary or traditional facade finishes.
Modular & Offsite Construction
Lightweight facade systems for offsite manufacture, applied in the factory or finished on site, and compatible with modular timber frame, steel frame, ICF, SIPs and other modern methods of construction.
High Rise & Buildings Over 11 Metres
Non-combustible mineral wool EWI systems for high-rise residential buildings, specified with the rigour the Building Safety Act demands, from wind load calculations to site-specific pull-out testing.
Specification you can stand behind
Since Grenfell, facade specification rightly demands rigour. Licata supplies non-combustible mineral wool EWI systems for buildings over 11 metres, holds BBA and KIWA certification on selected systems, and provides project-specific wind load calculations, U-value calculations and condensation risk analysis as standard on high-rise and funded projects.
Our technical team confirms the fire classification, certification and warranty position for every specification, so nothing is left to assumption.
