Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The LicataTherm ICF external wall insulation system is suitable for a wide range of substrates, including brick, concrete, and block. Designed for both new builds and refurbishment projects, it improves thermal insulation and overall thermal efficiency while remaining highly breathable and weather resistant.

Manufactured in accordance with UK and European testing standards, the system combines insulation boards and advanced insulation materials such as mineral wool and expanded polystyrene. This helps achieve excellent energy efficiency across solid walls and external walls while reducing moisture penetration and maintaining the building’s durability.

This EWI system is reinforced with high-strength glass fibre mesh, providing flexibility against movement and preventing surface cracking caused by thermal expansion or settlement. The reinforcement layer works with breathable silicone render or thin coat finishes to protect the insulation system from impact and moisture.

By distributing stress evenly, it prevents cracks even in demanding site conditions or steel and concrete construction. The coating remains durable and attractive, ensuring the insulation system maintains its protective and decorative properties for years.

Licata’s external wall insulation systems require minimal upkeep due to their strong weather-resistant coating and durable silicone render finish. Brick slips offer long-term protection against rain, mould, and surface wear while keeping their appearance clean and consistent.

When installed correctly, the insulation system can last more than 25 years with minimum maintenance. Routine inspections and cleaning are enough to preserve the quality, durability, and thermal performance of the system, keeping heating costs and future repair expenses low.

The CF EWI system is a highly breathable and water-managed structure that allows moisture to escape and prevents internal condensation. Its layered design promotes ventilation, reducing the risk of mould and ensuring the insulation system remains effective in all weather conditions.

The installation process ensures the insulation boards and finishing layers are fixed precisely to direct rain and vapour away from external walls. This combination of breathable silicone render and thin coat finishes maintains the façade’s appearance and long-term protection.

Yes, Licata’s external wall insulation systems are designed to integrate easily around windows, doors, and openings without creating thermal bridges. During installation, insulation boards are cut and fixed with precision, ensuring seamless coverage and consistent thermal insulation across the surface.

The reinforcement mesh adds extra strength and prevents cracking near edges, preserving the system’s neat appearance. Although the initial cost depends on project size and materials like EPS or mineral wool, it remains a cost-effective choice due to its energy savings and extended lifespan.

The CF external wall insulation system provides excellent sound insulation in addition to its proven thermal performance. Using mineral wool or expanded polystyrene insulation materials helps block external noise, improving comfort in both residential and commercial buildings.

These insulation systems combine breathable silicone coating with durable boards to balance heat control, moisture protection, and acoustic reduction. The result is an EWI system suitable for new builds or refurbishment projects that ensures quiet, efficient, and durable external walls across the UK.
