External Wall Insulation

A country house wrapped in a full external wall insulation system, finished with a smooth render across every elevation.

External wall insulation works by fixing insulation boards to the outside of the existing walls, then building up a reinforced base coat and a protective render finish over the top. It lifts the thermal performance of a home without losing any internal floor space, keeping the warmth in through winter and reducing heating costs year round. Here the system was carried around bays, canopies, and reveals throughout, with each junction detailed carefully to keep the lines crisp and the finish even across the whole property. The result is a warmer, more comfortable home with a fresh, contemporary exterior to match.
