External wall insulation is often characterised as a layer of insulation adhered to an existing wall. To protect it from the weather, this layer will be covered with a coat of render or an alternate cladding.This approach is frequently necessary for insulating walls on solid wall properties where hollow wall insulation is not an option. While installing insulation should seem like a no-brainer to increase your house’s thermal efficiency, no type of wall insulation, including exterior wall insulation, comes without some form of problem – frequently centered on how your home deals with moisture. External Wall Insulation can be done as a single measure (paid) in which only wall is insulated or as a double measure (free depending on the criteria) along with Boiler replacement.
