Structural Insulated Cladding
The unique Hanson Structherm Structural Insulated Cladding system is a cost effective method of extending the life of a defective building. It provides a rigid, structurally continuous envelope around the building with a render finish and is a real alternative to demolition.
The construction of the unique panels used in the system is based on a core of rigid insulation set within a galvanised steel “cage”. The panels are immensely strong and rigid, yet lightweight (easily handled by one man) and can be installed vertically or horizontally.

Applications:
- Full cladding of defective buildings (reduces need for difficult remedial work)
- Full over-cladding of defective or inefficient system built structures (improving structural safety and thermal continuity)
- Re-configuration of building facades to reduce or enlarge glazed areas (modifying solar gain, heat loss and glare)
- Enclosing balconies and walkways (converting external space into usable internal floor area)
- Forming new or extending existing parapets (improving safety at roof level)

Features & Benefits:
- Excellent impact resistance of 10N/m compared to other EWI systems.
- Due to external application, residents are able to stay in their homes with minimal disruption to their lives.
- Excellent strength to weight ratio.
- Large spans can be achieved due to an extremely high flexural capacity.
- Existing foundations do not need to be modified due to the low mass of the panel.
- Structural components all have a typical assessed minimum life of 30 years plus.
- The system offers very good resistance to the vertical spread of fire and the BBA certificate confirms a 30-minute resistance
Quality Assurance:
Our structural insulated cladding systems carry a 10 year warranty. They are BBA approved with a minimum 30 year design life, and are fully patented.
