External Wall Insulation
Solid walls offer flexible insulation options to improve your home’s comfort and energy efficiency. Internally, rigid insulation boards can be applied directly to existing walls or installed within a studded framework filled with insulation materials like mineral wool or sheep’s wool.
Alternatively, external wall insulation adds a layer of insulating material to the outside of your home, often finished with a durable render or cladding. While internal insulation tends to be more budget-friendly and can be done room by room, external insulation provides added benefits despite a higher upfront cost.
In the UK, around 28% of homeowners live in solid wall properties—over 7 million homes—most of which were built before the 1930s. Many of these homes can benefit greatly from modern insulation solutions to reduce heat loss and boost energy efficiency.
At Nexus Eco Built, we help you explore the best insulation options tailored to your property and budget, ensuring a warmer, more comfortable home year-round.
External Wall Insulation Requires a Thoughtful Approach
Unlike internal insulation, external wall insulation involves adding a protective and insulating layer to the outside of your home. Each property is unique, and factors like wall type, weather exposure, and aesthetic preferences all play a role in determining the best solution.
At Nexus Eco Built, we appreciate these challenges and tailor our approach to suit your home’s specific needs. Our experienced team will guide you through the process, helping to improve your home’s warmth and energy efficiency while maintaining its appearance and meeting all relevant UK building regulations.
How Solid Wall Insulation Works
How Solid Wall Insulation Keeps Your Home Warm and Efficient
Solid wall insulation is a fantastic way to keep your home feeling warm and comfortable. It works by soaking up heat from both inside and outside your house during the day, storing that warmth in the walls so your home stays cosy even when it’s chilly outside. Plus, when the summer heat kicks in, external insulation helps keep your home cooler by blocking some of that heat from getting in.
Here’s why solid wall insulation is such a great choice:
It helps keep outside noise down, making your home a peaceful retreat
It stops heat from escaping, so you stay warmer for longer
It can boost the value of your property
It creates a snug, welcoming space during the colder months
And it saves you money by cutting down your energy bills
At Nexus Eco Built, we’re passionate about helping you find the perfect insulation solution to make your home more comfortable and energy-efficient.
