External Wall Insulation

External Insulation is a very successful and efficient way of retaining heat. It is comprised by a layer of expanded polystyrene which is mechanically fixed with fixings to the wall. A fiber mesh is embedded onto the insulation before being covered with two base coats of plaster. One final decorative coat is then applied.

External wall insulation has a durable finish to withstand the weather and ensures the exterior of the property is waterproof.  There is a range of different colours available to suit the needs of everyone. These are textured, painted acrylic and pebble-dashed, the pebble dash finish remains very popular among clients. External wall Insulation keeps the house cool in the summer and of course retains the heat in the winter.
