Why ecorend’s EWI Systems are the choice for home insulation

What is External Wall Insulation?

External Wall Insulation involves adding a layer of insulation to the exterior of your home, covered by a decorative and protective render. This process not only improves your home’s thermal efficiency but also gives it a fresh, modern look. By addressing heat loss through walls, which accounts for up to 33% of energy wastage in older properties, ecorend EWI systems can make a significant difference in your home’s energy performance.

The Challenges of Retrofitting Older Homes

Retrofitting older homes often presents unique challenges. Traditional properties tend to have solid walls, which lack the cavity insulation common in modern buildings. This makes them more prone to heat loss and less energy efficient.

Additionally, older homes can suffer from external wear and tear, including cracks, weathering, and outdated finishes. ecorend’s EWI systems are specifically designed to address these issues while enhancing both the performance and aesthetics of your home.
