Fishwick Housing

Project Overview

Terraced houses in the Fishwick estate were deemed not fit for purpose as they had damp issues due to insufficient ventilation, poor thermal performance along with damaged and dated exterior due to long term exposure to the North West elements. Preston City Council, backed by The NEA (National Energy Action) charity which stepped in to fund the installation of mechanical ventilation and replacement EWI, tasked K Systems with transforming the entire housing estate and improving the living conditions for all residents. The high performing K Systems E External Wall Insulation (EWI) system was installed based on the expanded polystyrene (EPS) insulating panels which are extremely light-weight, flexible and easy to install. For the finish, Silicone Thin Coat render was specified.
