A FIRM specialising in external wall insulation has completed its busiest year with order levels more than doubling over the previous 12 months.

Holmfirth-based manufacturer Hanson Structherm now has its sights set on becoming the number one EWI supplier in the UK.

Yvonne Coldwell, Hanson Structherm’s marketing manager, said: “We’ve had an incredible year, but are not resting on our laurels.

“Our vision is to become the number one EWI supplier in the UK and we are confident we can achieve this by providing the best systems and customer service in the industry.

“We are also ready to deliver Green Deal and Energy Company Obligation projects, which are set to boost orders further and we have introduced a free service to help our customers with their ECO funding proposals.”

Hanson Structherm’s EWI systems are approved by the British Board of Agrément – the UK’s major authority offering approval and certification services to manufacturers and installers supplying the construction industry.

Approval by the BBA confirms Hanson Structherm’s products have a minimum design life of 30 years and that their use improves the thermal performance of buildings, reducing CO2 emissions and ongoing energy costs for residents.

The products are used for both low and high rise projects and for all types of construction including solid brick, concrete, steel or timber frame.

Hanson Structherm, based at Bent Ley Road, Meltham, has been providing innovative building solutions to the construction industry for more than 25 years, including external wall insulation, structural external wall insulation and the Fastbrick brick slip cladding system.
