External Wall Insulation
External wall insulation (EWI) is an effective way to reduce the amount of energy required to heat your home, saving you money on energy bills and lowering your carbon footprint.
Uninsulated walls allow around a third of the warmth pumped into a house to leak out (according to the Energy Saving Trust). Making your central heating system work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature.
How does External Wall Insulation work?
External wall insulation is typically defined as an insulation layer attached to an existing wall. To protect it from the elements, this layer will be finished with a coat of render or an alternative cladding.
This method is frequently used to insulate walls on solid-wall properties where cavity wall insulation is not an option.
