Mapei’s Mapetherm System adds to the scenery Two of Mapei’s complete external wall insulation and protective coating systems have been specified and installed on an impressive house renovation on the coast of Downderry, Cornwall. Contractor and client/project manager Jim Lockyer of James Lockyer Associates Ltd undertook the multi- disciplinary planning, design and specification of the project. Mapetherm EPS Plus insulation board, Mapetherm AR1 GG insulation adhesive and reinforcing render with Mapetherm Net was used over the existing masonry construction to provide thermal benefits. A new timber framed structure was added to the building and finished with a Mapetherm Thin Coat render only system; consisting of Mapetherm AR1 GG with reinforcing mesh (Mapetherm Net) and Mapetherm Plus System, which incorporates Silancolor Base Coat and Silancolor Tonachino Plus 1.2mm applied to a cement board. With great coverage and fantastic depth of colour in a finish that really lasts - we firmly believe you won’t find a better paint. Fenwick & Tilbrook paints are water-based and environmentally friendly with low VOCs. For a uniform finish, this is the ideal solution for a structure exposed to the extreme elements of a coastal location where mould and algae growth is prevalent. www.mapei.com Listed building can breathe again After more than 60 years as a school Grade II Listed Moreton House in Bideford, north Devon, has been returned to family ownership. The 100 room property will offer both holiday apartments and function rooms. Cement repairs and vinyl paints had caused a lot of damp to build up inside the walls, damaging the plaster and wood. In many places moisture was trapped behind the paint. Internally, the walls are either lath and plaster or lime plastered stone, both of which are being repaired or renewed as necessary with lime plaster. Earthborn’s Claypaint was specified to prevent future damp problems by ensuring the internal walls can breathe. Claypaint is a unique, clay based emulsion. Its advanced technology maximises the natural properties of clay to create a high performance, highly breathable paint that covers exceptionally well and gives a distinctive, ultra matt finish. Being free of oils and acrylics, Claypaint is virtually VOC free and does not give off any toxic emissions. That means it is safer for the health of building occupants as well as the environment. Its eco credentials include the stringent EU Ecolabel. Claypaint is available in Earthborn’s signature palette of 72 shades. Bespoke colours can be developed through the nationwide network of Earthborn stockists. www.earthbornpaints.co.uk 46 Our exterior finishes have been developed to withstand the harshest of elements, Claypaint specifically for lime plaster, and interior finishes that are beautifully matt and durable. Additional to our extensive colour palette, we offer a bespoke colour creation service. Our newest product, Pure Matt Plus is even washable, perfect for high traffic areas and children’s fingers!
