External Wall Insulation Flexi

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.

What is external wall insulation?

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

What is external wall insulation used for?

Exterior wall insulation is used to:

• Boost energy efficiency in buildings.
• Protect walls from rain penetration and temperature fluctuations.
• Enhance comfort levels in cold or draughty homes.
• Lower heating costs.
• Refurbish old or weathered façades.
• Can improve property value by increasing energy efficiency ratings.

Types of external insulation for house

We offer these external house insulation systems for different wall systems:

Cavity wall insulation

These are used mainly for hybrid wall systems where an external insulation layer is added to enhance existing cavity performance

Rainscreen insulation

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.

Solid wall insulation

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.

Timber frame insulation

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.

Benefits of external wall insulation

Exterior wall insulation has multiple benefits:

• Significant reduction of heat loss.
• Reduced condensation.
• Weather protection for your walls.
• Noise reduction.
• Better-looking facade.
• Lower energy bills.
• Higher property value.
• Extends wall lifespan by shielding masonry from freeze-thaw cycles.
