External Wall Insulation
External Wall Insulation involves mechanically fixing insulated panels to the external substrate of a property and then applying a render finish. This can transform a property to a warmer more efficient place to live and create a modern fresh look for the external façade.
If your property was built prior to 1930 then it is likely to have solid walls. These properties were built without a cavity and the two skins of brick are tied together with bricks known as 'header bricks', the walls are usually 220mm – 250mm thick.
Without external wall insulation, nearly half of your heat is lost through the walls. This isn’t just burning money unnecessarily - especially with surging energy costs nowadays - but also contributes to environmental damage through CO2 emissions.
Solid walls can usually be insulated either by applying high density insulation material internally, externally or both.
Internal wall insulation
Internal wall insulation is the insulation of the internal surface of the external walls, so it is a great alternative to external wall insulation and in our opinion a better measure for properties with good character.
Nearly half of all heat loss from solid walled properties occurs by heat escaping through the walls. Insulating these walls will slow down the rate of heat loss and keep the warmth inside your home for longer. Internal wall insulation works by adding an extra layer of insulation to the internal walls and can really improve the standard of finish in your property.
Our internal wall insulation is installed by mechanically fixing and gluing insulated PIR boards on to existing walls within your property
