What is …External Wall Insulation (EWI)?
External wall insulation is a type of insulation that goes on the outside of the walls of your house. Insulation boards are fixed to the outside of your house and then a lovely new coat of weatherproof render is applied to freshen up the exterior of your home in your choice of colour.
This insulation is just like wrapping your home in a blanket!It is a high performance insulation, very effective at warming up the interior of the home and reducing energy bills.
At Complete Insulations, we use Enewall insulation boards (either EPS, mineral wool, or PIR) which are agrément certified (see Technical Information below) and achieve a U-value of 0.27W/m²K or lower, compliant with SEAI standards.
These are fixed to the wall using an adhesive coat, and the boards are then covered with a reinforcing mesh for strength and longevity and secured to the wall using mechanical fixings. The final layer is weather proofing render, which protects your insulation over time and gives a pleasing finish to the walls in a colour of your choice.
