Why Use External Wall Insulation?

WHY INSULATE EXTERNALLY

If your home does not have cavity in the walls, improving its thermal performance means insulating either internally or externally. Using external wall insulation has superior advantages for the following reasons:

• No need to sacrifice internal living space or square footage with the installation of interior wall insulation.  External wall insulation affects only the facades or outside walls of your home. 
• No reason to leave your home during upgrade or construction work when external wall insulation is being installed; that means no disruption your your family's schedule or lifestyle (as all the work is done externally)   
• Healthier living environment. Thicker external wall insulation or plasters will result in warmer walls, which means no condensation (moisture) build-up or cold bridging; reduced mold growth and constant warm temperature inside (or cool interior during the summer).
• Constant even temperature through out your home.  Cold and hot spots are eliminated as the entire home or structure is wrapped or blanketed externally in insulation. 
• Improved external facades.  There are many fine quality exterior finishes or plasters which can be applied to closely match your home's original exterior or similar nearby .  So no need to worry your home's facades will be ruined or changed too drastically.

Benefits of External Wall Insulation

External wall insulation is like a comforting blanket wrapped around your home; protecting it from the harsh cold or hot elements.  This type of insulation creates a tea-cozy effect that allows heat to stay in; while keeping out drafts.

There are so many amazing benefits to upgrading and improving your external wall insulation.  Not only will you save on heating bills but also increase livability of your home; helping it maintain a constant temperature year round.

SAVE ON YOUR HEATING BILLS

The most significant heat loss in your home is through the external walls. Nearly 45% of the total heat loss occurs through your external walls, resulting in high heating bills.  

You can dramatically reduce heat loss and slash your heating bills by simply insulating external walls.

INCREASED COMFORT LEVELS

By insulating external walls, your home will warm up more quickly if insulated so you don't have to keep the central heat or furnace on for as long to reach a comfortable temperature. Condensation build up on walls will be eliminated as walls are kept at a constant warm temperature which will eliminate wall surface mold growth and this can translate into a  healthier and cleaner living environment.

LOW MAINTENANCE

The high performance render finishes used on the system offer excellent durability and protection against rain, UV rays from sunlight and cracking. Our finishes have the color pigments added during the mixing process which means they never have to be painted, providing you with a low maintenance home.

IMPROVED FACADE APPEARANCE

Upgrading the external wall insulation will also improve the home's facade as you can choose from a wide range of contemporary or traditional finishes,  textures, colors and finished effects.

INCREASED PROPERTY VALUE

Your home's value will be increased as your exterior facade is improved with exterior wall insulation.   A prospective home buyer will appreciate the improvements made.  This could translate into a quicker sale if or when you put your home on the real estate market. 

REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

Show your concern and love for the environment by insulating your home's exterior.  When you upgrade external wall insulation, you reduce the amount of heat which is lost through exterior walls which means less fuel spent heating the interior of the home.  This is relevant as it means less carbon emissions and wasted fuel.
