Ewi systems does the profit outway

The risk's ,there is a lot of money invested in doing this to the outside of a house, if for anyone of lots of reasons the job fails , how do you really stand for a BIG CLAIM in court against you as the plasterer ? as i have noticed the suppliers have covered themselves legally very well and seem to have shifted any blame over to workmanship ie-US ?

this type of work is not suited to small gangs. the contractors that do this work are british kite mark members that can offer a guarantee of several years, perhaps through an insurance scheme.
when ever we have taken on thin coat render as a sub contractor from the manufacture there has been an oversee from the co.. on site at all times to make sure that the material is fitted as per spec . the money is always very tight and there are short cuts but can be expensive to correct

Some great point's there maic, there is a company doing EWI into swimming pools shells instead of just render/tile it's styrofoam,ronacrete+ mesh,then mosaic tile, this they say insulates the pool, but i think they have had a few problems................i suppose you could call it INTERNAL POOL INSULATION SYSTEM OR IPIS lol........
