Weber Product Ranges
External Wall Insulation Weber deliver genuine innovation including External Wall Insulation (EWI) systems that can be used on new buildings as well as thermally improving and aesthetically transforming existing solid wall traditional brick, system built non-traditional, low or high rise buildings.
External Wall Insulation Benefits of EWI Provides a weather-proof, attractive and generally maintenance-free new exterior Conserves energy helping the environment As work is carried out to the outside walls, disruption to the household is minimised Minimises heat loss – lower U-values achieved Controls condensation and eliminates cold bridging Can provide reduction in sound transmission Satisfies Part L Regulations Weber EWI systems are BBA accredited, Ofgem approved and Energy Saving Trust Recommended. Weber are also members of the NIA and INCA.
weber.therm XP The revolutionary BBA accredited weber.therm XP EWI system, is a unique, fast application one-coat solution which can be used with most insulant types and achieves excellent fire test performance. This allows safe use in high-rise locations, is impact resistant and offers exceptional levels of weather protection in areas of severe exposure. Excellent U-values of below 0.3 W/m²K can be achieved which contributes to reduced energy consumption and CO2 emissions.
Facades Weber monocouche renders create an external, decorative, through-coloured finish suitable for most types of brick or blockwork. Weber is the first producer of monocouche renders to be awarded an A+ rating for weber.pral M as defined in the BRE Global 2008 Green Guide to Specification after undergoing an environmental assessment by the BBA. The BBA accredited weber.pral M is just one of Weber’s products that incorporates One-Coat Technology which is being recognised for its contribution to minimising programme works.
Tile Fixing The professional tile fixer will find everything they need within Weber’s extensive range of easy-to-use tile adhesives and grouts. There are solutions for fixing & grouting all types of tiles onto all substrates. They are divided into four sections: Preparation products such as levelling compounds, primers and an under-tile tanking system. Ready-mixed ceramic wall tile adhesives for all situations. Cement-based tile adhesives for floor and wall tiles offering a choice of setting times and levels of flexibility in both white or grey. The range includes mould-resistant tile grouts and silicone sealant in a wide choice of colours.
Low Dust Technology™ Since the introduction of Low Dust Technology™ (LDT) in 2009, an advanced formulation applied to weber.set rapid SPF tile adhesive and more recently to weber.floor flex levelling compound, sales have increased to an unprecedented level. Standard adhesive Low Dust Technology ™ LDT has been added to the original products after rigorous research, development and investment by Weber. The addition of LDT dramatically reduces airborne dust created during pouring and mixing, whilst maintaining all of the original benefits to the contractor.

Construction Mortars Concrete Repair weber.cem concrete repair systems are available for use in social housing refurbishment projects as well as on major infrastructure contracts. The systems include products for small patch repairs and concretes for larger areas where sprayed and flowing materials are best employed. The components of the systems have been tested to BS EN 1504 parts 2 & 3 for protective coatings and concrete repair mortars. Precision Grouting, Anchoring & Fixing Grouting materials can be cementitious or resin-based. All Weber grouts are dimensionally stable, are able to transfer loads effectively and are durable under the conditions for which they have been selected. The enforce composite strengthening system offers design freedom with a choice of carbon fibre plates and sheets in a range of sizes and differing properties.
Construction Mortars Structural Strengthening The En-Force composite system offers the designer, contractor, client and owner the unique benefits of using a non-corrosive material for structural strengthening. Externally bonded composite reinforcement will increase the load capacity of structural components and increase flexural resistance through greater stiffness. The loads are transferred through the epoxy resin adhesive to the bonded composite. Highways Ironwork Bedding Systems Weber provides rapid setting cement and resin-based mortars for bedding of kerbs, gullies, manhole frames and other street furniture.
