The Insulated Render and Cladding Association (INCA) Awards celebrated the successes of exceptional innovation and design in External Wall Insulation (EWI). Project of the Year was awarded to SPSenvirowall and Build-Therm for their great work on Langley Academy Primary School. The project overcame the challenge of causing minimum disruption to pupils, while delivering great thermal performance and design.
The INCA Awards 2017 were presented by former Leicester Tiger, England, and British & Irish Lion captain, Martin Corry. This prestigious black-tie, gala dinner event celebrated its fifth year at the Titanic Hotel, Liverpool on the 5 October in front of approximately 150 industry guests.

INCA Executive Chairman Mitch Gee said “’We must not lose sight of the energy inefficiencies in our housing stock and continue to strive to work towards warmer, more efficient homes. However we are not a one trick pony. We do not just provide insulation, we are not just about saving carbon. We are able to transform a home, a community, a life. We provide products that are not only beneficial for society, but are also aspirational for the individual home owner. This has been clearly demonstrated through this years’ brilliant INCA Award winners.”
