What we look for in Colwyn Bay
We cover Colwyn Bay and nearby Llandudno, Rhyl and Bangor (Gwynedd). Colwyn Bay sits around 35 miles from Wrexham. North Wales has many solid stone and slate-built homes, Victorian seaside terraces and post-war council estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Clwyd: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
On brick terraces in Colwyn Bay, slips can insulate the wall while keeping the street's look.

Planning and building control in Wales
For homes in Colwyn Bay, the local planning authority decides any borderline cases; changing a brick house to render, or work on flats, usually needs an application in Wales.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
How is the brick slip system built up?
Insulation boards are fixed as for any EWI, followed by a reinforced base coat. The slips are bonded with the system adhesive, spaced for joints, then pointed. Corners use L-shaped slips so the edge looks like a solid brick.
