External Wall Insulation (EWI)
External wall insulation reduces heat loss through solid (non-cavity) walls. An installer applies a layer of insulation material to the outer walls, then covers this with render or cladding.
Because it’s installed on the outside of a home, you might also hear EWI referred to as “outside wall insulation”. Adding this extra layer of insulation means that less warmth escapes through the walls. As well as keeping the heat inside your home, you’ll also be better protected against rain and bad weather.
What’s more, external wall insulation also has the added bonus of a fresh new look for your property. There are lots of different options when it comes to the type of finish you want.
