What is external wall insulation?
External wall insulation (EWI) involves applying insulation material to the outside of your property's walls, then covering it with a protective render or cladding. This creates a thermal barrier that significantly reduces heat loss through your walls.
EWI is particularly effective for solid wall properties built before the 1920s, which typically have no cavity between the inner and outer walls. By insulating externally, you can dramatically improve your home's energy efficiency without losing any internal floor space.
The insulation also gives your home a fresh, modern appearance and can increase its value. Want to find out more? Get in touch with our experts today.
Contact UsHow does external wall insulation work?
External wall insulation works by fixing insulation boards to the outside of your property's walls. These boards are then covered with a base coat, reinforcing mesh, and a decorative finish coat.
The insulation material creates a continuous thermal envelope around your home, eliminating cold spots and thermal bridges. This keeps warmth inside during winter and prevents excessive heat gain during summer.
The installation typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on the size of your property. Our experienced installers ensure minimal disruption and a high-quality finish that will last for decades.
