External Wall Insulation (EWI) adds a continuous layer of insulating material to the outside of your home’s walls, then finishes it with a weather‑proof render or cladding. It’s one of the most effective ways to reduce heat loss through solid or cavity walls, cutting your energy bills and carbon footprint.
Key Benefits of EWI
•Lower Energy Bills: Up to 35% of heat escapes through uninsulated walls; EWI can save hundreds on annual heating costs .
•Improved Comfort: Keeps rooms warmer in winter and cooler in summer by eliminating cold spots and draughts .
•Increased Property Value: Homes with higher Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings are more attractive to buyers and tenants .
•Long‑Lasting Guarantee: Installations typically come with a 25‑year, insurance‑backed guarantee .
•Reduced Carbon Emissions: Helps the UK meet its 2050 net‑zero goal by slashing household CO₂ emissions.
Under the UK’s ECO4 scheme (1 April 2022 – 31 March 2026), larger energy suppliers fund insulation measures for vulnerable and low‑income households. You may qualify if you:
