External wall insulation (EWI) is a modern solution designed to enhance your home’s energy performance, reduce heating costs, and give your property a fresh new look. Ideal for homes with solid walls or properties where internal insulation isn’t feasible, EWI combines functionality with aesthetic appeal.

What is External Wall Insulation?

External wall insulation involves adding a protective layer of insulation material to the outside of your home’s walls. The insulation is typically finished with a render or cladding, providing a durable and visually appealing exterior.

EWI is particularly suited to older properties with solid walls, which can lose up to 45% of their heat through the walls.

A well-insulated home is warmer in winter and cooler in summer, ensuring year-round comfort for occupants.

Modernised Appearance

External wall insulation can refresh the exterior of your home, offering a range of finishes to suit traditional or modern aesthetics.

Noise Reduction

EWI adds an extra layer of soundproofing, reducing noise from the outside and enhancing indoor tranquillity.
