Here you will find information on External Wall Insulation (EWI) also called External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS), Insulated Render and Solid Wall Insulation Systems.
A lot of information already exists on the internet about external wall insulation especially solid wall insulation and insulated render or cladding. Let us save you some research time.
In order to keep this site clutter free we have decided to include links to some outside organisations and independent government bodies. These sites will provide you all you need to know about exterior wall insulation.
It’s not just refurbishment of solid walls that can benefit from external wall insulation; a lot of our projects are on new build mostly solid concrete block houses that are cheaper and quicker to build.
We also undertake exterior wall insulation work on PRC houses such as Wimpey no fines houses, Airey houses, Wates houses, etc.
Please look at the links section we have carefully selected the appropriate sites to make sure they are relevant and useful.
Information is a wonderful thing and like us a lot of good firms have been doing this work for many years, (external wall insulation has been installed on domestic houses in the UK for over 20 years).
When it comes to deciding on a solid wall insulation system you need to choose carefully, if carried out by a professional a quality wall insulation system will last in excess of fifty years.
Other factors have to be taken into account such as dew point and condensation risks, that’s why Wall2Wall supply a free written report with condensation dew point risks and of course the U value calculations.
All our EWI systems carry a fifteen year warranty, with independent indemnity cover.
Finally the finish coat is of paramount importance, how you want to embellish and adorn your new insulated home is your decision, using brick or stone cladding we can form plinths, castling, quoins and other details or we can clad the complete surface of your home.
Rendering finishes must be flexible to ensure the final finish can accommodate the movement within the insulation boards. Some of our manufacturers products have over 50 year’s track record all our renders are crack resistant. See our External Wall Coatings section for the render and coatings we specify.
Non traditional REEMA PROPERTIES, before the application of an external wall insulation system.
Notice that the heat loss through the fabric of the external wall is of a similar temperature to that being emitted from the chimney stacks.
The same REEMA PROPERTIES following the application of a WBS External Wall Insulation System, comprising of 60mm phenolic insulation and a traditional spar dash finish.
The interesting aspect of this particular shot is not only the dramatic reduction in heat loss through the fabric of the external walls of the houses at the front of the picture, but also the evident heat that is still escaping from the un-insulated property in the background.
