Problem
Single-skin solid wall construction may need relatively thick materials to provide thermal requirements, thereby increasing the building footprint.
The masonry available to provide thermal resistance at reasonable thickness for single-skin construction often needs a protective and decorative cladding.
Without careful detailing at openings water can track around windows and door frames etc. bypassing seals at openings.
Good quality and reliable seals are paramount. Simple gun-applied sealants used with cavity construction are often poorly applied. If they fail for whatever reason with single-skin construction, the construction is immediately exposed.
Solution
Use weber.therm XM and weber.therm FT system
weber.therm XM and the weatherseal unit from the weber.therm FT components insulate the structure while providing robust multi level defence to water ingress at openings.
