External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a system applied to the exterior walls of a building to improve its thermal performance and energy efficiency. It involves adding insulation material and a protective layer to the outside of the walls, reducing heat loss and enhancing comfort.
EWI offers several benefits, including improved thermal comfort, reduced energy bills, enhanced aesthetics, and increased property value. It can also help to address issues such as damp and condensation, improving the overall living conditions of your home.
EWI is suitable for most types of properties, including houses, flats, commercial buildings, and public facilities. It can be applied to various wall materials, including brick, concrete, and timber, making it a versatile solution for different structures.
The duration of EWI installation depends on factors such as the size of the property, the complexity of the project, and the weather conditions. Typically, installation can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, with minimal disruption to occupants.
In most cases, planning permission is not required for EWI installation, especially if the changes do not alter the external appearance of the property significantly. However, it's advisable to check with your local planning authority to confirm any specific requirements.
EWI systems are designed to last for many years, with a lifespan of 25-30 years or more with proper maintenance. While EWI is generally low maintenance, occasional cleaning and inspection may be necessary to ensure its continued performance and longevity.
