External Wall Insulation (EWI)
Want to improve your home's energy efficiency while upgrading the exterior look? External wall insulation (EWI) lets you do both — reducing heat loss and enhancing curb appeal in one project.
What Is EWI?
EWI is an insulated board system installed on the outside of your walls and finished with a protective render. It improves thermal efficiency, lowers heating bills, and creates a completely refreshed exterior look.
Benefits of EWI with Rendering
- ✅ Lower energy bills – retain more heat
- ✅ Warmer, quieter rooms – all year round
- ✅ Modern rendered appearance
- ✅ Can be paired with silicone or monocouche render
- ✅ Ideal for solid wall properties or older homes
Perfect for Retrofits and Renovations
EWI is ideal if:
- Your home has solid walls (no cavity)
- You want both insulation + rendering
- You're applying for government energy-efficiency grants (ask us)
