Wrap Your Home In Comfort

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.

External Wall Insulation

Simple, Efficient Energy

In Ireland, many older homes were built using materials that allow heat to escape easily. This leads to cold, damp interiors and high heating bills. External Wall Insulation (EWI) offers a powerful solution to this problem—helping you retain heat, reduce energy usage, and improve the comfort of your home.

Capture

Panels capture daylight and convert it into DC electricity.

Power

Inverter converts DC to AC electricity to power your home.

Store & Export

Excess energy is stored in batteries or sent back to the grid for payment.

Insulation

What Is External Wall 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.

Why Choose External Wall Insulation?

With energy prices on the rise, now is the perfect time to future proof your home with an external insulation system.

  • Cuts energy bills by improving heat retention
  • 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

Perfect for New Builds and Retrofits

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.

A Range of Stylish, Low Maintenance Finishes

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.
