Local considerations in Bathgate
As well as Bathgate itself, we quote in Livingston, Falkirk and Airdrie. It's roughly 18 miles from Bathgate to Edinburgh, the largest town in Edinburgh and the Lothians. East Central Scotland mixes stone tenements and terraces with post-war council housing and harled bungalows and semis.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Edinburgh and the Lothians: 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.
For houses in Bathgate with shallow eaves, the insulated render thickness is planned with the roofline in mind.

Is insulated render the same as EWI?
Yes — insulated render is the everyday name for a rendered EWI system. Some people also use it for thin thermal renders containing aerogel or cork, which are applied 20–40mm thick on heritage walls. They insulate far less than board systems, so we treat them as a specialist option.
