Mapei joins Solid Wall Insulation Guarantee Agency

February 18, 2025

Mapei is proud to announce that it is now an official member of the Solid Wall Insulation Guarantee Agency (SWIGA). Membership demonstrates that Mapei systems are now officially approved and recommended for every type of project, meeting the latest industry standards and delivering the highest quality.

SWIGA is a not-for-profit promoter of quality and best practice, and a guarantee provider for solid wall solutions. It was established to encourage ongoing quality improvements, by way of its industry-recognised quality framework through which it delivers guidance, support and robust consumer protection through an independent guarantee.  The SWIGA guarantee provides cover for external wall insulation systems (EWI), internal wall insulation systems (IWI) and hybrid systems combining both. It is available for all forms of traditionally constructed solid wall properties, as well as the many forms of non-traditional properties, and it covers the refurbishment of both low-rise dwellings and high-rise apartments.

“This milestone not only strengthens our position in the industry but also provides a clear guarantee and the highest level of assurance for contractors, specifiers and private builders that we offer the best quality, professionally-certified insulation solutions.  The guarantee spans all sectors, whether government-funded or private build, where professional recommendations are crucial,” commented Ahmed Sobhy, Mapei Category Manager – EWI and Coatings.

As well as providing the highest level of assurance and performance, Mapei solid wall insulation systems also ensure long-term reliability, energy efficiency and sustainability. To find out more about SWIGA, please visit https://www.swiga.co.uk
