Project Overview

Your Homes housing estate in Walker, Newcastle upon Tyne, approximately 32,000 square metres in wall area and comprising approximately 400 homes, should have been an attractive living option in the North East of England. Instead it was unappealing to potential residents, an eyesore for surrounding neighbours, and in desperate need of modernisation. Upon finalising the project scope, K Systems recommended the industry-proven Mineral Wool insulation system to revitalise the aged façade and significantly enhance the thermal performance of the properties. A K Systems silicone render finish in shade ‘pearl’ was applied to all 400 homes to achieve the consistent, bright, fresh exterior requested by the client, significantly uplifting the entire area of Walker. The Your Homes housing estate was transformed from properties with substandard living conditions into an appealing array of PAS2035 compliant homes. These upgraded residences are now energy efficient, warm, comfortable, robust, and visually attractive, with U-value ratings improved from 1.75W/m²K to 0.28W/m²K, fully meeting the client’s requirements and aspirations.
