What is External Wall Insulation?
Unlike cavity wall insulation, which fills a pre-existing gap, external wall insulation is a different approach. It involves adding a layer of insulation to the outside of your existing walls. This insulation layer is then covered with a weatherproof and decorative finish.
Here’s how it works:
Insulation Layer: This is typically made from materials like mineral wool, expanded polystyrene (EPS), or phenolic foam. It creates a barrier that stops heat from flowing through your walls.
Weatherproof Finish: This protects the insulation from the elements and provides a decorative surface for your home’s exterior.
Is External Wall Insulation Right For You?
External wall insulation is a great option for a variety of homes, especially those with:
● Solid walls: If your home was built before the 1920s, it likely has solid walls, which don’t have a cavity for cavity wall insulation. External wall insulation is a perfect solution in this case.
● Poorly insulated walls: Even cavity walls with some insulation can benefit from the extra layer of protection external wall insulation provides.
● Draughty homes: External wall insulation tackles drafts at their source, significantly improving comfort.
