External wall insulation is fitted on outside walls. It is mainly used on solid wall systems, as well as properties constructed with steel or timber frames. It is ideal for buildings where internal insulation is impractical or space is limited.
This specialised insulation forms a thermal envelope around the building to prevent heat from dissipating through the walls. It typically includes an insulation layer for thermal performance, followed by a reinforced base coat and decorative render for weather protection
Exterior wall insulation is used to:
We offer these external house insulation systems for different wall systems:
These are used mainly for hybrid wall systems where an external insulation layer is added to enhance existing cavity performance
These allow insulation behind ventilated cladding. They protect the wall from wind and rain, while ensuring moisture can still escape. Commonly used on commercial buildings and high-rise façades.
This is the most common form of external insulation for solid wall retrofits. It is applied to properties without a cavity wall. It ensures you have a continuous insulation layer over masonry.
This provides continuous external insulation across the entire frame in buildings with structured timber walls.
Each system has its own design, moisture, and structural considerations, so pick one suited to your wall type and site conditions.
