Cladding
Parka-Wrap has provided brackets and framing which go immediately behind the cladding. This creates essential drainage and drying capabilities that were not incorporated in the original wall system.
Fibrecement solutions contributed Eterpan sheets for the cladding. They were selected for their low maintenance and durability.

Why was Rockwool used rather than PIR insulation?Both Rockwool and Enertherm PIR were used on this project – and both have been used for Outsulation before. Rockwool is ideal for retrofitting because it accommodates the irregularities in the original substrate.

Why did you add the insulation to the gable end?The PIR section is half the thickness of the Rockwool for the same R-value which allowed us to cope with a step in the existing cladding line, and the height lines up with the ceiling insulation depth – the gap can be seen in the below detail.
