The external appearance of a building is truly an important aspect, especially to its residents, yet increasingly, with the rapid depletion of the world’s energy resources, high profile environmental issues such as climate change, are beginning to take precedence over aesthetic preferences and stringent legislation demands that the thermal performance of any building is strictly governed.

External Wall Insulation was introduced to Britain in the 1960’s, yet it would be fair to say that it has taken time to establish itself. However, over the last ten years, the Decent Homes Standards and Part ‘L’ of the Building Regulations have significantly increased insulation standards and the demand for more innovative solutions for renovating properties, increasing thermal performance and reducing carbon emissions.

External wall insulation is a system of insulation boarding professionally fixed with bespoke mounting systems and then treated with flexible micro-porous long life renders. This layered method encases the property and helps prevent heat from escaping unnecessarily from the property.

This system has become incredibly popular for properties unable to have cavity wall insulation injections.
