External Solid Wall Insulation / Exterior Renders
External solid wall insulation is a technology developed to improve the thermal performance of buildings by the application of an insulating layer and a decorative weatherproof finish applied to the external wall surfaces of a building.
The application of an External solid wall insulation system has a number of positive benefits:
- Improved insulation levels lead to a reduction in heat losses and therefore to a reduced energy demand for heating in the winter months.
- Higher levels of insulation help to reduce building overheating in the summer months, thereby reducing the energy demand for cooling.
- Reduced energy demands result in lower CO2 emissions.
- Interstitial or internal condensation on walls can be eliminated, and the attendant problems of damp internal surfaces and mould growth are overcome.
- The building fabric can be protected against the effects of the weather by the insulated cladding.
- The building structure is protected from daily environmental temperature changes.
- Fluctuations in internal temperatures are reduced, leading to more comfortable living and working conditions.
