ThermaShell is an exterior insulation and finishing system (EIFS) which incorporates both thermal insulation and cavity based cladding technology to provide a lightweight, cost-effective, plastered exterior cladding for residential and light commercial construction. The ThermaShell system is based on a 75mm substrate of Neopor®, graphite composite EPS which offers far higher insulating properties than typical EPS based claddings.
The ThermaShell system incorporates a BRANZ (Building Research Association of New Zealand) tested and appraised primary and secondary means of weather defence against water penetration by separating the cladding from the external wall framing with a nominal 20mm drained cavity. This ensures the dwelling will comply with the latest requirements of the New Zealand building code and ensures it has been formally tested to give long lasting durability even in New Zealand’s most extreme weather conditions.
