Save on energy bills, boost comfort, and enhance your home’s appearance – all with one eco-friendly solution.
It’s a technique used to improve the energy efficiency, thermal comfort, and external appearance of buildings by adding insulation materials to their exterior walls.
This process is particularly beneficial for properties with solid walls or those without cavity walls, as they tend to have lower insulation levels and higher heat loss rates.
Made of expanded polystyrene (EPS), mineral wool, or polyurethane foam, it’s bound using fixings anchors.
Made of fiberglass or similar material, it provides additional strength and durability to the insulation system.
By reducing heat transfer through the walls, it can lower heating and cooling costs, making your home more energy-efficient and comfortable.
By increasing the wall’s temperature, it helps to minimize condensation and associated issues, such as dampness and mold growth.
The added insulation can also help to reduce external noise levels, improving the overall living environment.
External Wall Insulation can enhance the appearance of a building, giving it a modern look or preserving its original style.

Poor installation
If not installed correctly, External Wall Insulation can lead to issues such as cold bridging, dampness, and reduced insulation performance.
Water ingress
If the external finish or sealant is damaged, water may penetrate the insulation system, causing dampness and reducing the insulation’s effectiveness.
Structural issues
In rare cases, adding external wall insulation may exacerbate existing structural problems or create new ones if not properly assessed and addressed before installation.
