External Wall Insulation

External wall insulation is a thermally efficient, highly advanced insulation treatment applied to a property’s exterior walls. It dramatically reduces the amount of heat a home loses which results in a warmer home and a reduced heating bill, along with a host of other benefits.

An external wall insulation system comprises of a layer of insulation, a layer of insulating render implanted with reinforcing mesh followed by a final coat of render finished to the desired decorative effect.

External wall insulation is suitable for many different types of properties, especially for the seven million UK homes with solid walls, which cannot be insulated using traditional cavity wall insulation methods. Homes constructed from concrete and stone as well as properties with steel and timber frames are also very often suitable.
