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.
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.

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.
