External Wall Insulation

Anglian Building Products have been installing External Wall Insulation (EWI) for over a decade, with experience in both the Public and Private sectors.

External Wall Insulation is an energy saving solution for older properties that have little or no insulation. Not only can it increase the lifespan of a building, it also makes the property more energy efficient which can help to reduce running costs. EWI can be considered one of the most effective means of providing building insulation, whilst delivering the broadest range of benefits.

EWI

What is External Wall Insulation?

External Wall Insulation (EWI) offers a solution to homes constructed with solid walls to become more thermally efficient.

A layer of insulation is fixed to an existing wall and then finished with either a layer of render or an alternative cladding to protect the insulation.

An EWI solution can be engineered to suit practically any type of building design and construction, with established methods adopted for non-traditional housing, standard specifications of solid walls and more bespoke solutions for new build and many non-domestic situations.

We provide a range of EWI solutions (single or multi-storey, solid wall, non-traditional or cavity construction), which feature a variety of insulation materials which include: expanded polystyrene, extruded polystyrene, polyisocyanurate (PIR), phenolic and mineral fibre.

There are also a wide variety of external finishes available which include: synthetic, mineral, dash, rough cast, brick effect renders, brick slip (synthetic and traditional), timber, board, tile and PVC-U.

Cavity Wall Insulation

Cavity wall insulation is normally suited to brick built properties which were built after the 1920s. It is normally possible to identify whether the walls have cavities by checking whether the bricks are all laid ‘side-on’.

It is estimated that around 9 million homes in the UK have cavity walls, which have yet to be insulated and with more than a third* of all heat being lost through the walls, insulating the cavity provides a cost-effective way to improve comfort levels and reduce energy use in the home.

Cavity wall insulation can be made out of three types of materials:

  • Mineral wool
  • Beads or granules
  • Foamed insulants
  • All three are manufactured according to British standards.

 

Cavity Wall installation is clean, safe and quick to install. If every UK household suitable was to install it, 4 million tonnes of CO2 every year could be saved and a reduction of up to £140 a year on the householder’s energy bills.

Independent 25 year guarantees are provided by Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency (CIGA) for all projects.
