What is External Wall Insulation?

External wall insulation is the process of insulating your home by applying insulation to the external walls. 

If your home was built before the 1930s, then you might have solid walls that need insulation.  External wall insulation involves fixing a layer of insulation to the wall, then covering all the wall surfaces with a special type of render. 

External wall insulation is the most cost-effective form of insulation for solid walls where there is no cavity between the walls that can be filled.

​
