Wrap your home in a protective thermal blanket with external wall insulation, dramatically improving heat retention while giving your property a fresh, modernized exterior finish.
Insulation
Also known as EWI or ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems), this method involves applying rigid insulation boards to the exterior walls of your home. It’s often called “The Wrap” because it quite literally wraps your home in a protective thermal layer.
With energy prices on the rise, now is the perfect time to future proof your home with an external insulation system.
Eliminates cold spots and damp issues
Improves your home’s BER (Building Energy Rating)
Adds a fresh, modern look to your property
Increases your property’s value and longevity
New Builds
EWI is ideal for both new builds and existing homes:
In new constructions, EWI simplifies wall design while boosting thermal performance.
For existing homes, it extends the lifespan of the building by keeping the original structure warm, dry, and protected from the elements.
External insulation isn’t just functional – it also enhances your home’s appearance. Choose from a variety of finishes and textures, including:
Coloured synthetic renders
Brick-effect finishes
Paintable render systems
Pebble dash options for a traditional look
These finishes are weather resistant, low maintenance, and available in a wide range of colours to suit any aesthetic.
Grant amounts vary based on your property type, with maximum funding of €8,000 available for detached homes. To qualify, your property must have been built and occupied before 2011, and all works must be completed by an SEAI-registered contractor.
