 A modern solution that’s gaining popularity for its ability to improve the energy efficiency, comfort, and appearance of your property.


Whether you’re looking to upgrade an older home, enhance your building’s thermal performance, or simply give your exterior a fresh new look, EWI rendering might be just what you need.


What is EWI Rendering?


External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a system that involves applying a layer of insulation material to the outside of your home’s walls, which is then covered with a decorative, weather-resistant render. The insulation can be made from various materials, including polystyrene, mineral wool, or expanded cork, and is designed to keep heat inside your home, reducing energy loss and making your property more thermally efficient.


The EWI system is applied directly to the exterior of your property, meaning that you don’t have to disturb the interior of your home to enjoy the benefits.


Once the insulation is in place, we finish it off with a durable render that provides both protection and aesthetic appeal, giving your home a refreshed look that’s both modern and practical.


The Benefits of EWI Rendering


1. Improved Energy Efficiency. The primary benefit of EWI rendering is the significant improvement in your home’s energy efficiency. By adding a layer of insulation to the exterior of your property, you’ll be able to prevent heat loss, keeping your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.


This means you won’t have to rely as heavily on heating systems, which can result in lower energy bills and a more comfortable living environment year-round.


In fact, homes with EWI installed can often see a dramatic reduction in energy costs, sometimes as much as 30% or more, depending on the size of the property and the condition of the original insulation.


2. Enhanced Thermal Comfort. If you’ve ever felt a cold draft or noticed certain rooms in your house are difficult to heat, EWI rendering can solve these issues by stabilising the internal temperature of your home.


With improved thermal efficiency, you can say goodbye to cold spots and enjoy consistent warmth throughout your living space.


EWI also helps to keep your home cooler in summer by reducing the amount of heat that enters through the walls, creating a more comfortable home no matter the season.


3. Protection from the Elements. The weatherproof finish of EWI render provides excellent protection for your home’s exterior. The render acts as a barrier against rain, wind, and UV damage, helping to preserve the integrity of your walls and prevent issues like damp, mould, and cracking. It’s an ideal solution for homes exposed to harsh weather conditions.


4. Aesthetic Appeal and Curb Appeal. One of the best things about EWI is that it not only improves the performance of your home but also enhances its appearance.


With a wide range of colours, textures, and finishes available, we can give your home a stylish and modern makeover. Whether you prefer a smooth, contemporary finish or a more textured, traditional look, EWI can be tailored to match your personal style and complement your property’s design.


Installing EWI also improves the overall curb appeal of your property, which can be a huge benefit if you’re planning to sell or simply want to improve the look of your home.


5. Increased Property Value. Investing in EWI rendering can also increase the value of your property. Homes with better energy performance and improved insulation are often more attractive to potential buyers, as they represent lower long-term running costs and better overall comfort.


In fact, studies have shown that energy-efficient homes can sell for higher prices, making EWI a smart investment for homeowners looking to enhance their property’s value.
