Insulate your walls to prevent energy loss

Insulating your external walls is a cost-effective way to save energy and improve the energy efficiency of your home. Around 20% of your home's internal heat can escape through uninsulated walls. Thanks to our insulation solution, the heat stays inside your home reducing the need to turn on the heating, which leads to substantial savings on your energy costs.

In addition to reducing your energy bills, insulating your external walls comes with extra benefits. By insulating the exterior of your property, you can enhance its appearance and increase its market value. External insulation not only improves the aesthetic of your home but also contributes to its overall value.

Steps to successful external insulation

Preparing and installing the insulation

The first step in an external insulation project is to install high-quality insulation panels on the exterior walls of your home. These damp-resistant panels are securely fixed in place with a special adhesive to ensure a strong, long-lasting bond. This pain-staking preparation stage ensures highly efficient thermal insulation.

Installing a support framework

Next, we install a support framework, or load-bearing structure, on the prepared walls. This framework is essential to support the insulating material and the outer cladding. In addition to its protective function, it also enhances the appearance of your home.

Applying the new cladding to your walls

The last step consists of choosing and applying the cladding to your walls.  You can choose from a wide range of options, such as rendering, fibre-cement panels and pebble dashing.

The cladding is selected based on your preferences and the specific requirements of your project to ensure a professional and durable finish.

questions? FAQ’s

Can external insulation be installed on an existing house (i.e. not a new build)?

Yes. It is commonly used to improve the energy efficiency of existing buildings without reducing the interior square footage. However, it is important to ensure that you get the right advice, especially when it comes to applying for planning permission, choosing the right materials, thickness of the insulation, etc. 

Does external insulation reduce noise pollution?

As well as improving the energy efficiency of buildings, external insulation improves soundproofing by creating an additional barrier between the inside and the outside. However, the effectiveness of sound insulation will depend on a number of factors, including the type of material used, the thickness of the insulation, and the quality of the installation.

Does external insulation require any special maintenance?

Although external insulation generally requires minimal maintenance, regular attention and preventive care can significantly extend its lifespan and help preserve its thermal and acoustic performance. It is important to schedule regular inspections, cleaning, anti-foaming treatments and seal maintenance. 

How do I know if my home needs better insulation?

Here are some signs that your home might need improved insulation:

– High energy bills: Above-average heating and cooling costs may indicate that your home is losing heat in winter and absorbing it in summer.

- Different temperatures: Significant variations in temperature in different rooms or areas of your home may indicate poor insulation.

- Draughts: Feeling cold draughts near windows, doors or outside walls, even when everything is closed, is a clear sign of air leaks due to poor insulation.

- Cold walls, floors and ceilings: Indoor surfaces that are cold to the touch in winter or hot in summer indicate poor insulation.

- Condensation and mould: Condensation on windows or walls can be caused by temperature differences triggered by poor insulation. Condensation can also lead to the growth of mould, which can pose a health problem.

- Noise pollution: Poor insulation can allow noise to enter your home easily. If you're hearing a lot of outside noise, improved insulation can help reduce it.
