QUICK GUIDE

Sheet Size:
1200 mm x 2400 mm

Standard Sheet Thickness:
50 mm / 75 mm / 100 mm

R-Value:
50 mm = 1.63 (2.08 with sisalation)
75 mm = 2.17 (2.62 with sisalation)
100 mm = 2.75* (3.20 with sisalation)

*Estimate based on 50 mm & 75 mm test results

Minimum Coating Thickness:
No less than 10 mm

 




Uni-TWS Cladding

The Uni-TWS® system (Thermal Wall System), part of the Uni-EIFS™ range, is a high build, high impact insulation cladding system. This high build system, when installed as per Unitex® specifications, has minimum impact strength of 45 joules.

Uni-IB boards are available in a standard size of 1200 mm x 2400 mm at the required thickness for the thermal comfort specified for the project (generally 50 mm, 75 mm or 100 mm). Components including edge and sill blocks, which are designed to provide a strong, neat and straight reinforced moulding around openings such as windows and doors, are made locally at the Unitex manufacturing facility.

Changing methods of traditional building using fired bricks and concrete blocks, in the age of government mandated energy rating systems, is shown to be inefficient, especially when considering a building's R-value and energy saving over time. In addition, recent legislation concerning 'safe working heights' and scaffold load requirements for heavy brick/blockwork will mean these traditional systems are inefficient, particularly above the ground floor.

Used in the construction industry to insulate, protect and decorate the exterior of a building structure, the Uni-TWS system is the most technologically advanced method of insulating your project.

Regardless of the building's age or wall composition, almost any type of structure can be insulated without losing interior floor space. Uni-TWS is lightweight, rainproof and yet water vapour permeable to prevent condensation problems. The lightweight wall cladding system is highly energy efficient and provides a virtually maintenance-free exterior when installed correctly.
