External wall insulation and silicone render improves the energy efficiency of your home and protect your property from the elements while enhancing its appearance and reducing energy costs.
External Wall Insulation: A Smart Way to Save Energy and Enhance Your Home’s Look
External wall insulation is an effective way to boost your home’s energy efficiency while also improving its appearance. By insulating the outer walls of your property, you can reduce heat loss during the cold winter months and keep your home cooler in the summer. This not only helps to lower your energy bills but also makes your home a more comfortable place to live. Plus, installing external wall insulation along with silicone render can give your home’s exterior a fresh, modern look, increasing its curb appeal and overall value.
​How Does It Work?
One of the most common systems involves adding EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) insulation to the brick or block substrate using adhesives and mechanical fixings. This system is cost-effective and can be used on many surfaces, including pebbledash and existing render. It’s suitable for a range of property types and provides a high-performance insulation solution with minimal thermal bridging. For example, when installed on a solid brick wall, 90mm of EPS insulation can achieve a U-value of 0.30 (W/m²K), meeting modern energy efficiency standards. This reduces energy bills and improves thermal comfort in your home.
Another popular choice is the Mineral Wool system, which offers excellent fire resistance, breathability, sound insulation, and thermal performance. It’s a premium option for all-round efficiency.
If space is a concern, Kingspan K5 is a great option. Known for its superior thermal performance with reduced wall thickness, it’s a popular choice when space-saving is a priority.
