External Wall Insulation

For many existing buildings, the thermal performance of the external walls falls well below the standards required by current Building Regulations with heat energy losses through the walls being of an unacceptably high level by today’s standards.
Many buildings were designed without any form of insulation in the walls, and even those buildings with cavity walls which have subsequently been fitted with cavity insulation can fail to meet the stringent thermal performance requirements of the current Building Regulations and Decent Homes Standards. Many existing buildings also suffer from cold bridging and the associated problems of dampness and condensation which can have health implications for building occupants.
With internal insulation for the external walls very high standards of thermal insulation can be achieve, with future energy-saving and CO2- reduction requirements in mind.
