About


Exter­nal solid wall insu­la­tion is a fan­tas­tic way of increas­ing the energy effi­ciency of your prop­erty.

Insulating your solid walls could cut your heating costs considerably, because solid walls let through twice as much heat as cavity walls do. The good news is they can be insulated.

If your home was built before 1919, its external walls are probably solid rather than cavity walls. Cavity walls are made of two layers with a small gap or ‘cavity’ between them. Solid walls have no gap, so they let more heat through.

Increase the value of your home

The insulation can improve the appearance of your home (especially if you are replacing pebble dash!), and of course the value.


Solid wall insulation stops penetrating damp

Exterior Wall Insulation adds a new weatherproof layer on the outside of the building, and slows the movement of heat through the walls. Another advantage is that it will cause the temperature of the walls themselves to rise. This means if there is lots of water vapour in the air (from cooking or washing for example), this will no longer condense on these walls.


It can also really help reduce noise entering the home.

If you live on a busy road, exterior wall insulation might just be the thing you need.

Projects


This was one of our solid wall insu­la­tion projects.

This customer’s house had a com­bi­na­tion of gloomy old peb­bledash and stained paint­work. The rea­sons for insu­lat­ing here was twofold: increas­ing warmth whilst smarten­ing up the exte­rior.

This instal­la­tion brought a few chal­lenges for us to over­come. Firstly, we had to extend a long gas run (we only ever use Gas Safe engi­neers), which meant alter­ing the pipework all the way around from the meter to the rear 1st floor point where the pipe entered the wall. A whole days work for our engi­neer.

Although the customer’s porch was not ren­dered as part of the exter­nal wall insu­la­tion sys­tem, she wanted it to match the rest of the house. We mixed paint of the same colour as the ren­der and applied that. Ren­der and paint can never be matched exactly because they are dif­fer­ent mate­ri­als and tex­tures, but it was a pretty close match.

The end result was a great improve­ment – both aes­thet­i­cally and struc­turally.
