Insulation for outside walls

Insulation can be applied to the interior or exterior walls of a house, however for greatest weatherproof and insulation, we would recommend the exterior walls to be insulated.

This page looks at the merits of having solid wall insulation applied to the exterior of the house, including photos of each stage.  Exterior wall insulation is AVAILABLE from Never Paint Again and is ideally suited to homes with solid walls, i.e. houses without a cavity, often built before 1920.

The photos below show each stage in simple to read photo captions.

Once the insulation is applied to the exterior walls of the house, the team apply a weatherproof wall coating, either by render or by a spray applied system. In addition, other exterior wall finishes for your new insulation can be considered such as brick slips and other cladding type wall coverings. Ask your NPA local agent for more details.

If you do not have external wall insulation fitted, most of the heat generated in your home to keep warm, from radiators, open fires etc, goes straight out of the walls and this can be proved by appointing a surveyor to do a thermal image scan on your home, which would pinpoint where the heat is being lost.

What is external Wall insulation?

External wall insulation is a layer of material, sometimes boards or sometimes insulated render, applied to the external walls of the house.

This can also take the form of cladding, or brick slips, insulated boards which, when fitted to the house, makes it look like the property has a brand new brick wall.  This is usually applied to houses with solid walls and no cavity.

Once thing to consider is the thickness of the external insulation and the appearance of the house. Profiles range from 300mm to 600mm and they will of course protrude outwards slightly so it is important to select an exterior insulation system that is pleasing to the house, whilst still doing the job of insulating the walls and not letting the heat escape.

The thickness of the external wall insulation often depends on the level of insulation required.

Particularly cold homes may need the thickest type of exterior insulation fitted, to maximise the efficiency of the insulation and to dramatically reduce the amount of heat lost through the wall.

A good way of cutting costs is to combine with this other insulation, such as loft insulation which is easily fitted, quite cheap, and brings great benefits very quickly.

Having external wall insulation fitted by our expert teams brings much “karma” too with the fact that you are actively making a real difference to the amount of carbon your home uses as you will not only enjoy lower heating bills, any heat generated internally will NOT escape, so no waste either.
