Anglian awarded EWI contract by Oxford City Council

13 February 2012

Anglian have recently been awarded an External Wall insulation (EWI) contract by Oxford City Council

Commencing on site this month, Anglian will insulate timber framed terrace houses as part of the council’s pilot scheme being undertaken in the Rose Hill Estate which is located on the south-east outskirts of Oxford.

Using the Structherm EWI system, a 60mm phenolic board will be applied to the walls and covered with a basecoat render and reinforcing mesh. An acrylic finish will then be applied to the front and rear elevations of the house and a brick effect render to the gables. Residents will also be given the choice to select the colour of the render before it is applied to their home.

This is Anglian’s first EWI contract for Oxford City Council having previously completed window and door contracts for Oxford CC over many years. Anglian Sales Director, Ross St Quintin commented ‘it’s great for Anglian to be working with Oxford CC once again, we are delighted to assist with the delivery of this pilot scheme’
