External Insulation Specialists Waterford
House wrapping, more commonly referred to as external wall insulation, is one of the most valuable improvements you can make to an older or solid-walled property in Waterford. By encasing the outside of your home in a continuous layer of insulation, we remove the cold bridging and heat loss that occurs through exposed walls, significantly improve the building’s energy efficiency, and at the same time provide the exterior with a fresh, contemporary and fully weatherproof finish.
It is the ideal solution for homes that are unsuitable for cavity insulation or that simply require a new lease of life.
When we wrap a house in Waterford, 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 entire external face of the wall.
Over these boards we apply a reinforced base coat with an embedded fibreglass mesh to create a robust, crack-resistant surface, and we finish the whole elevation in a through-coloured silicone render. Silicone render is breathable, self-cleaning and highly durable, ensuring the new finish retains its appearance and withstands the elements for many years.
All detailing around windows, doors, sills and roof lines is completed to the highest standard, so the finished home is both beautifully presented and thoroughly protected.
