Why you need a condensing boiler
Lack of a Wall Cavity
Many older homes lack a wall cavity, making traditional insulation methods like cavity wall insulation impossible. ECO Engine Limited provides expert solutions such as external wall insulation, tailored specifically for houses without cavities.
Don't Lose Floor Space
Internal insulation adds layers inside exterior walls, reducing floor space by 100–150 mm. This involves a wooden frame, rigid foam insulation, a vapour barrier, and plasterboard. ECO Engine Limited offers solutions to minimize space loss.
Protection Against Weathering
Embrace Eco-Friendly Comfort
External wall insulation acts as a protective layer, shielding your home from the impact of weather elements. This can prolong the life of your building’s exterior & interior and reduce maintenance costs.
Reduction in cold bridging
Cold bridges are less likely to happen when insulation is placed outside the home. Spreading a thick layer of insulation around the house creates a shield that keeps cold air away from the stone walls. Putting this on your house is like putting on a coat; it covers everything.
To prevent cold from seeping through solid walls, it’s crucial to minimize cold bridging. Masonry conducts heat efficiently, allowing chilly temperatures to infiltrate and create drafts. Addressing cold bridging keeps your home warmer and more energy-efficient.
Internal wall insulation V/S External wall insulation
Don’t have a wall cavity? External wall insulation is the best alternative! For solid walls, there are ideally two ways to insulate them.
Internal wall insulation:
Internal wall insulation is applied to the inner surface of the main exterior of walls. Typically, this is more cost-effective, but of course, it has some limitations.
External wall insulation:
External wall insulation is the process of adding insulation to an already-existing wall. For weather protection, the wall is usually completed with render or another type of cladding.
External wall insulation works wonders to improve the thermal efficiency of dwellings with solid walls.
External Wall Insulation Cost
A three-bedroom semi-detached house costs between £5,000 and £9,000. A bigger separate home, on the other hand, might cost between £8,000 and £15,000. In addition, you can’t avoid the extra costs that come up when pipes and wires need to be lifted or replaced. When you want to get the best U value for your wall, it’s smart to split the needed insulation thickness between cavity-fill and external ways.
