External Insulation Specialists Westmeath
House wrapping, or external wall insulation as it is more formally known, is one of the most worthwhile improvements you can make to an older or solid-walled property in Westmeath. By encasing the outside of your home in a continuous layer of insulation, we remove the cold bridging and heat loss that pass through exposed walls, significantly improve the building’s energy efficiency, and in doing so give the exterior a clean, contemporary and fully weatherproof finish.
It is the ideal solution for homes that are unsuitable for cavity insulation or that simply need bringing back to their best.
When we wrap a house in Westmeath we mechanically fix and bond insulation boards, either EPS (expanded polystyrene) or, where additional strength and moisture resistance are required, XPS (extruded polystyrene), across the full external face of the wall.
Over these boards we apply a reinforced base coat with an embedded fibreglass mesh to produce a robust, crack-resistant surface, and we finish the entire elevation in a through-coloured silicone render. Silicone render is breathable, self-cleaning and highly durable, meaning the new finish holds its appearance and stands up to the elements for many years.
All detailing around windows, doors, sills and roof lines is completed to a high standard so the finished home is both well presented and thoroughly protected.
