External wall insulation is a game-changer for homes with solid walls. If your house was built before the 1930s, it likely has solid walls that can benefit from this insulation method.
Energising Lives offers top-notch external wall insulation services that not only enhance your home’s warmth but also significantly reduce your energy bills. Learn how we can help you insulate your home and take advantage of available grants to cover the costs.
What is External Wall Insulation?
External wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulation material to the exterior walls of your home, which is then covered with a protective render or cladding.
This method is particularly beneficial for homes with solid walls, where internal insulation isn’t feasible.
By insulating your home externally, you can prevent substantial heat loss and improve your property’s energy efficiency.
