WRAP YOUR HOME IN COMFORT
Experience lasting warmth and lower bills with external wall insulation
External Wall Insulation
In Ireland, many older homes were built using materials that allow heat to escape easily. This leads to cold, damp interiors and high heating bills. External Wall Insulation (EWI) offers a powerful solution to this problem—helping you retain heat, reduce energy usage, and improve the comfort of your home.
What Is External Wall Insulation?
Also known as EWI or ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems), this method involves applying rigid insulation boards to the exterior walls of your home. It’s often called “The Wrap” because it quite literally wraps your home in a protective thermal layer.
Why Choose External Wall Insulation?
-
Cuts energy bills by improving heat retention
-
Eliminates cold spots and damp issues
-
Improves your home’s BER (Building Energy Rating)
-
Adds a fresh, modern look to your property
-
Increases your property’s value and longevity
With energy prices on the rise, now is the perfect time to future proof your home with an external insulation system.
Perfect for New Builds and Retrofits
EWI is ideal for both new builds and existing homes:
-
In new constructions, EWI simplifies wall design while boosting thermal performance.
-
For existing homes, it extends the lifespan of the building by keeping the original structure warm, dry, and protected from the elements.
A Range of Stylish, Low Maintenance Finishes
External insulation isn’t just functional – it also enhances your home’s appearance. Choose from a variety of finishes and textures, including:
-
Coloured synthetic renders
-
Brick-effect finishes
-
Paintable render systems
-
Pebble dash options for a traditional look
These finishes are weather resistant, low maintenance, and available in a wide range of colours to suit any aesthetic.
