External Wall Insulation in Glasgow

External wall insulation also known as EWI and solid wall insulation, is a method of insulating the outer walls of your building to improve energy efficiency and thermal performance. Unlike cavity wall insulation, which fills the gap between inner and outer walls, external wall insulation involves adding an insulating layer to the outside of your existing walls. This method is particularly useful for the many homes in Glasgow that do not have cavity walls, such as older properties or those with solid walls.

Although expensive, external wall insulation is one of the most effective methods for increasing your homes temperature and adding protection from strong winds and harsh weather found in parts of Scotland.

How external wall insulation work?

External wall insulation (EWI) is a method used to insulate the external walls of a building to improve its energy efficiency and thermal performance. By adding insulation to the external walls, this method prevents heat loss in winter and reduces heat gain in summer, leading to energy savings and a more comfortable indoor environment. It also helps in preventing condensation and can improve the overall appearance of the building. It’s crucial for external wall insulation to be installed by trained professionals to ensure it’s done correctly and to avoid issues such as moisture penetration or inadequate insulation coverage.

External Wall Insulation Installers Glasgow

Here are the key steps for effective external wall insulation installation:

Preparation: The external surface of the walls is cleaned and prepared. This often involves removing any dirt, loose paint, or other contaminants.

Insulation Material: Insulation boards or panels made from materials like expanded polystyrene (EPS), mineral wool, or polyurethane foam are fixed to the external walls. These panels provide the necessary thermal insulation.

Fixing and Reinforcement: The insulation panels are mechanically fixed to the walls and sometimes reinforced with mesh or other materials to provide strength and durability.

Rendering: A protective render (plaster) is applied over the insulation boards. This render layer serves as both a protective coating for the insulation and a base for decorative finishes.

Finishing: After the render has set, various finishing options are available, including painting, textured finishes, or cladding materials to give the building an aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Quality Checks: The completed external wall insulation system undergoes thorough quality checks to ensure proper installation, adherence to building standards, and a satisfactory finish.

What our clients say about us

Insultation in Scotland



Initially we contracted Craig and his team to provide insulation for two attic rooms which are either freezing or much too hot and they ended up fitting a new kitchen too.
We can't recommend this firm highly enough, especially for the way they helped us through the unexpected discovery of damp.

Communication and customer service were excellent; friendly helpful worker were punctual, hardworking and cleaned up thoroughly.
Highly recommended.

    External Wall Insulation Benefits

    External wall insulation (EWI) offers a range of benefits for both homeowners in Scotland and the environment. Here are some key advantages of external wall insulation:

    EWI significantly reduces heat loss through the walls, leading to lower energy consumption and reduced heating bills.

    By reducing energy consumption, EWI can lead to substantial cost savings on energy bills over the long term. Although its expensive to install, the initial cost investment installing external wall insulation can often be recouped after many years.

    The insulation helps maintain a more stable and comfortable indoor temperature by preventing heat from escaping in cold weather and keeping the interior cooler in hot weather.

    EWI can enhance the external appearance of a building, especially if decorative finishes or cladding materials are used. It can also help to protect the underlying structure from weathering and deterioration.

    By improving the energy efficiency of buildings, EWI contributes to reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact.

    EWI can help prevent condensation on internal walls, reducing the risk of mould growth and associated health issues. It also protects the building structure from potential damage caused by moisture.

    Improving a property’s energy efficiency and appearance can enhance its market value. Potential buyers are often attracted to energy-efficient homes due to the lower running costs and improved comfort.

    EWI can also provide some level of sound insulation, reducing external noise pollution and creating a quieter indoor environment.

    By protecting the exterior walls from the elements, EWI can extend the lifespan of the building structure, reducing the need for repairs and maintenance over time.
