External Wall Insulation Norfolk

What is external wall insulation?

You can apply external wall insulation in a manner that is analogous to how we utilise interior wall insulation to help protect your property and help it retain heat. This will prevent heat from escaping through the walls of your Norfolk residence and prevent cold air from entering.

While this will be more expensive than insulating a cavity wall, the money you save on your recurring heating costs will also be higher. External wall insulation systems are available from our team here at Save Energy Trade World, offering a range of other insulation options. We genuinely are the number-one company in Norfolk!

Now that technology has advanced, the installation of insulation material on the external walls of your home does not have to affect the exterior appearance of your property. This means your home in Norfolk will continue to have its flawless appearance.

To assist you in reducing the amount of money spent on your monthly energy bills, our staff can deliver the best possible standard of work and a wide range of services around Norfolk. Speak with a member of our staff now if you would like more information on how the exterior of your home can be used to regulate the temperature inside of it.


How Does External Wall Insulation Work?

The term "external wall insulation" refers, in the vast majority of instances, to a layer of insulation affixed to an already-present wall. After this layer has been completed, a coat of render or some other cladding will be placed on it to protect it from the outside environment. An external wall insulation system refers to the process of adding insulation to the solid brick walls that make up the exterior of your home.

This insulation is added to your external solid walls, distinguishing it from other types of insulation, such as filling cavity walls or installing insulation internally. Using insulation boards, we can provide you with a thin coat of insulation.

It is generally suggested that you work with a group of qualified professionals when searching for insulation to apply to the external walls of a building. Here at Save Energy Trade World in Norfolk, we have such a group of professionals on staff.

Our work will not only be of exceedingly high quality, but it will also decrease the possibility that any damage will occur due to our efforts.

What are the Advantages of External Wall Insulation?

Increasing the insulation efficiency in your home will allow you to cut down on the amount of fossil fuel you use and the amount of money you spend on heating your home, both of which have been steadily rising in price in recent years due to the rising cost of energy.

If you employ renewable technology to operate your central heating system, you will enjoy the benefits of an even more environmentally friendly home. Besides that, is there anything else that you could want?

Frequently Asked Questions


Many factors apply to each house: the basic building's age, style and size. Also, when fitting EWI onto a property, consideration is given to the type of insulation board material, the insulation thickness, the render and many different texture finishes.

It can cost from £8,000 upwards depending upon these factors. However, the cost of the work needs to be considered in context of the savings from the reduced fuel use.

Under most circumstances, the answer is no. Dealing with Planning Permission issues is not difficult, and we can assist. Planning Permission is required if your home is Listed in an Area of Outstanding Beauty or a Conservation Area.

It should be obtained before work is started. You may also need planning permission if you live in a terrace house and your external wall runs directly onto a public pavement, as the extra depth to your wall may be viewed as an encroachment into public space.

For most circumstances, EWI is not classed as an extension to the walls. However, under L1B of the Building Regulations, the alteration to exterior fittings and fixtures requires a Building Notice to be sent to the council.

A Building Control Inspector will pop along on the first day to meet the installer and again at the end of the job to sign it off and give you an Approval Certificate.

An EWI-compliant system will save costs by cutting heat losses by around 35-45%. The Energy Saving Trust, an independent organisation, calculates that a typical three-bed semi-detached house will use around £400 less in heating costs if a solid wall home has EWI insulation fitted to the correct standards.

Of course, heating costs depend upon fuel prices at the time, and these are set to continue to rise in the years ahead. Heat loss will take the path of least resistance, so it is important to ensure good loft and roof insulation and that doors and windows are draught proofed.

Otherwise, the gain from the EWI will be significantly reduced.

External Wall Insulation (EWI) is the most thermally effective way of insulating solid wall houses. We install using the most affordable and accredited materials and systems.

Solid walls are described as "Hard to heat and hard to treat", and if you live in one of the 7 million homes in the UK with solid outside walls, you will appreciate the costs involved in trying to keep them warm in winter.

EWI has made it "Easy to treat, cheaper to heat".

A layer of insulation material in the form of insulation boards is fixed to the walls. Three different insulation boards are used: expanded polystyrene, mineral wool and phenolic. The layer of insulation is then covered with a particular type of render.

The finish can be smooth or textured and be the colour of your choice. This will cover the entire external wall of your property.

This depends on the size of your property and the weather. It can be completed in a week on a small property like a terraced house in the summer. However, a large property in late autumn could take up to 3 weeks.

There are several advantages. The main advantage is that you do not lose any internal space as all the insulation is on the outside walls.

There is no need to vacate the house or rooms whilst the work takes place, no need to move furniture and internal fittings and no internal redecoration is required.

It allows thicker, higher-performing insulation to be used, resulting in warmer walls. A final advantage is eliminating any risk of condensation and cold - bridging as the whole building is wrapped in insulating skin.

Insulation boards are attached to the wall using a unique adhesive applied to the rear of each insulation board before being laid onto the wall in a staggered pattern. The boards are then further secured by being mechanically drilled and pinned to the wall.

At the base of the wall, the boards sit in a base rail at the height of the damp-proof course. Once the insulation boards are in place, they are covered with an initial base layer of a specialist polymer bonding render. A nylon mesh is embedded in the render to prevent thermal expansion and contraction cracking.

The render is primed, and a decorative, weatherproof final coat is applied. This process forms an incredibly strong bond with the external wall insulation board. However, it can flex and breathe so that moisture is not trapped in the walls or the insulation layer.

Why Is Solid Wall Insulation A Good Idea?

A cold wall will take heat away from anything around it. Solid wall insulation adds a thermally protective layer to the outside or inside of your home. Here are some more reasons for insulation:
