A Guide for Homeowners
If you are looking for a way to improve the energy efficiency, comfort and appearance of your home, external wall insulation might be a good option for you. External wall insulation (EWI) is a system that involves applying a layer of insulation material to the outside of your home’s walls, and then covering it with a protective and decorative finish. This can help reduce heat loss, lower your energy bills, enhance your home’s curb appeal, and protect it from weather damage.
External wall insulation is a layer of insulating material that’s fixed to an existing wall. This layer will be finished either with a coat of render or with an alternative cladding to protect it from the elements. External wall insulation can be applied to any type of wall, whether it’s brick, stone, or concrete.
