Polystyrene Cladding Installation

Polystyrene (EPS/EIFS) panels are installed on the exterior of a building. Base coatings, fibreglass mesh, and ornamental topcoats are then put in. This service covers both new construction projects and restoration projects that want to upgrade and insulate existing houses.

Polystyrene Cladding Repair and Restoration

Even long-lasting cladding may eventually need touch-ups, sustain minor impacts, or suffer wear and tear. Our team of experts fixes broken polystyrene cladding to restore a matching texture or colour. It may include patching, repairing cracks, or re-rendering specific areas.

Render Finishes and Ornamental Coatings

As "rendering specialists," we are able to provide different kinds of decorative coatings and render finishes (such as cement, acrylic, and textured finishes) that are especially made for polystyrene cladding systems.

On-Site Colour Mixing and Customisation

The Ultratex Group provides on-site services for colour mixing polystyrene cladding. It helps clients achieve the exact colour match they desire for the exteriors, whether it is for a new project or to blend in with existing elements.

Why Should You Go for Polystyrene Cladding in Melbourne?

The climate in Melbourne, with hot summers and freezing winters, requires an energy-efficient solution. Polystyrene cladding, commonly known as Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) or External Insulation Finishing Systems (EIFS) provides external wall insulation and finishing. It is made up of hard expanded polystyrene panels that are attached to a building’s exterior either mechanically or using adhesive. These panels are later covered with render layers: a base coat with fibreglass mesh and a topcoat.

Benefits of Polystyrene Cladding

  • Energy Savings: EPS panels minimise heat transfer through walls, reducing the need for air conditioning and heating.
  • Fire Retardant Properties: Systems with EIFS-compliant polystyrene cladding prevent flames and self-extinguish. Ultratex Group complies with the latest NCC and relevant Australian standards, such as AS1366.3 for EPS components.
  • Structural Safety and Durability: Our polystyrene cladding system is resistant to UV rays, rain, extreme temperatures, chipping, fading, normal wear and tear, and cracking like traditional cement renders.
  • Design Versatility: Polystyrene cladding is available in a range of colours and textures, from sleek, trendy finishes to classic rendered, textured, and custom-designed styles.
  • Quick Installation: EPS panels are easier to install because they are lighter than typical masonry. They are suitable for new construction and retrofits because they can be applied to a variety of substrates, including steel, masonry, and timber. 
  • Moisture Resistance: Our breathable, moisture-resistant polystyrene cladding solutions limit the risk of mould and moisture accumulation.

How Does Our Polystyrene Cladding Process Work?

The polystyrene cladding process that our professionals use complies with industry standards:

Consultation and Assessment

Our team will evaluate your property, discuss the advantages of using polystyrene cladding for your project, and provide expert advice.

Design and Materials

We choose the best render technique (such as mineral-based or acrylic), help with colour and texture selection, and select the thickness of EPS panels for the best R-value.

Surface Preparation

The wall surface is cleaned, repaired, and primed by our staff to give the EPS panels the best possible adhesion and a stable, level base.

EPS Panel Installation

After being precisely measured and cut, the lightweight EPS panels are either mechanically fastened or glued to the prepared wall.

Base Coat

The EPS panels are covered with a solid base coat, usually a cementitious render modified with a polymer. A premium fibreglass mesh is set into this layer while it is still wet.

Top Coat Application

The top coat is then applied as the last layer. This can be a matte render, a personalised coating, or a colourful texture finish, depending on the design you have in mind.
