What is External Home Insulation?

External wall insulation is an insulating layer permanently attached to an existing wall. To protect the insulation from the weather, it will typically be finished with a render coat or cladding.


The preferred method for improving the thermal performance of houses with solid walls constructed from a single layer of bricks is (EWI) external wall insulation.


EWI is a fantastic alternative if there are no planning constraints on the property because most UK homes built before 1920 have solid walls.


You may comfortably live in the house while the work is being done because installing EWI doesn't cause the same disruption inside your property as installing internal insulation. Additionally, it can aid in enhancing soundproofing and weatherproofing.


Compared to internal wall insulation, the price will be higher. A larger detached property will likely cost between £8,000 and £15,000, while a three-bedroom semi would likely cost between £5,000 and £9,000.
