What Is External Wall Insulation (EWI)?

External Wall Insulation (EWI) involves fitting insulation material to the outside of your property, then covering it with a protective render or cladding. This method seals the building envelope, preventing thermal bridging and reducing heat loss. Discover our insulation solutions.

How EWI Works

Insulation Layer: High-performance insulation boards (e.g., EPS boards) fixed to existing walls.
Reinforcing Mesh: Embedded in a base coat (we use Ceresit mesh) to add strength.
Finishing Render or Cladding: Weatherproof, decorative coatings like our silicone renders that protect and beautify.

Key Benefits of Lowering Carbon Footprint with EWI

Incorporating the FocusKeyword lowering carbon footprint with EWI into your renovation strategy offers numerous advantages:

Energy Savings: EWI minimizes heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer, cutting energy bills by up to 40%. See our energy savings guide.
Carbon Reduction: By reducing reliance on heating and cooling, EWI can lower CO₂ emissions by several tonnes annually. Calculate your payback period.
Improved Comfort: Consistent indoor temperatures eliminate cold spots and drafts.
Enhanced Property Value: Energy-efficient homes command higher market prices—boost your EPC to Band C or above with our NHBC-compliant renders.
Weather Protection: High-quality renders shield walls from moisture, frost, and UV damage.
Noise Reduction: Additional insulation provides an acoustic barrier against external noise.
Customization: Wide range of textures, colours, and finishes to suit any architectural style. Browse our shop.
