Saint-Gobain Brands Shortlisted for Multiple 2025 INCA Awards
Two of the UK’s leading external wall insulation (EWI) brands - K Systems and Weber, which are both part of Saint-Gobain Exterior Solutions - have been named as finalists across multiple categories in the 2025 INCA Awards.
This collective success underscores the group’s expertise, technical innovation, and leadership within the UK construction and retrofit market.
K Systems, a Kilwaughter Minerals brand which is now part of Saint-Gobain Exterior Solutions, has secured nominations in the Refurbishment: Low Rise – Render / Traditional Finish, Refurbishment: Single Storey – Render / Traditional Finish, and Refurbishment: Non-Residential – Render / Traditional Finish categories. The company’s St Giles Community Centre project has also received dual recognition, being named a finalist for both Judges’ Choice: Environmental Impact and Judges’ Choice: Architectural Design.
Meanwhile, Weber has been shortlisted in the New Build: Render Finish, Judges’ Choice: Environmental Impact – New Build, and Judges’ Choice: Architectural Design – Low Rise categories.
Caroline Rowley, Business Development Director at Saint-Gobain Exterior Solutions, commented:
“We are delighted that both K Systems and Weber have been recognised as finalists at this year’s INCA Awards. To have been shortlisted across so many categories, from refurbishment through to new build, and from design to environmental impact, serves as testament to our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and technical excellence in EWI systems.
“The recognition of K Systems’ St Giles Community Centre for both environmental impact and architectural design showcases the lasting social and environmental value our projects can deliver, while Weber’s success in new build categories highlights the versatility and breadth of expertise within Saint-Gobain Exterior Solutions.
“Together, our brands are proud to be shaping the future of the built environment, helping to deliver energy efficiency, design flexibility, and lasting performance for communities across the UK.
“We would also like to congratulate our fellow finalists and look forward to celebrating the industry’s achievements at the awards ceremony in November.”
