Wall Insulation
External wall insulation, also known as EWI, is a transformative method designed to enhance the energy efficiency and thermal performance of your home. By applying insulation to the exterior surfaces of external walls, this approach minimises heat loss, regulates indoor temperatures, and contributes to substantial energy savings. Explore the benefits and process of external wall insulation to understand how it can make your home more comfortable and environmentally friendly.

How External Wall Insulation Works

External wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulating material to the outside surfaces of your home’s external walls. This layer acts as a barrier, preventing heat from escaping during colder months and shielding your home from excessive heat absorption during warmer periods. This insulation upgrade leads to improved thermal efficiency, reduced energy consumption, and lower heating and cooling costs.

Key Features and Benefits

External wall insulation significantly improves the thermal resistance of your home, providing better insulation against external temperature variations.
By minimising heat loss and gain, external wall insulation reduces the need for constant heating and cooling, leading to substantial energy savings.
External insulation can enhance the appearance of your home, offering the opportunity to refresh or change its visual appeal with a variety of finishes and textures.
The insulation layer can act as a barrier against moisture, minimising the risk of condensation within the walls and preventing potential damage.
Investing in external wall insulation can increase the overall value of your property, making it a sound investment for homeowners.

The External Wall Insulation Process

Our team assesses your home to determine the most suitable insulation materials and methods based on factors such as the type of walls and local climate conditions.
External surfaces are prepared by cleaning and repairing any existing damage, ensuring a smooth and stable foundation for the insulation.
Insulation boards or materials are affixed to the external walls using adhesive and mechanical fixings. The thickness of the insulation is determined by the specific thermal performance requirements.
A basecoat is applied over the insulation, followed by a reinforcing mesh to provide structural strength and durability.
The system is finished with a weather-resistant render, available in a variety of colours and textures, to suit your aesthetic preferences.
Once the render is set, the final decorative finish is applied, completing the external wall insulation system.
