External solid wall insulation

CUTTING HEATING BILLS BY REDUCING HEAT LOSS & CARBON EMISSIONS !!

Multiguard Solutions’ hope you find the following information relating to solid wall thermal insulation systems in domestic or commercial properties useful!

Why use an external wall insulation system?

Around 35% of energy used to heat Britains’ homes are lost through solid walls along with the money spent on that heating.

With the rapid depletion of the world’s energy resources, high profile environmental issues such as climate change, are beginning to take precedence over aesthetic preferences and stringent legislation demands that the thermal performance of any building is strictly governed. In fact insulation is Lnow compulsory under the Building Regs Part L1B when working on an external solid wall with possible fines if the rules are not followed.

Before and After Photos – Multiguard Solutions External Wall Insulation Systems

Solid walls lose even more heat than cavity walls; the most effective way to reduce this heat loss is to insulate them on the outside to minimise cold bridging and avoid reductions in room sizes.
.

This will help create a more even temperature in your home, prevent condensation on the walls and ceilings and can also reduce the amount of heat building up inside your home during summer hot spells. It’s not a cheap fix, but you will soon see the benefits to your heating bill and it’s another way of playing your part in reducing CO2 emissions.

How external wall insulation works

This involves adding a decorative weather-proof insulating treatment to the outside of your wall. The thickness of the insulation needs to be between 50 and 100mm and is usually installed where there are severe heating problems or the exterior of the building requires some form of other repair work providing the opportunity of adding insulation.

The Savings

External wall insulation is more expensive than cavity wall insulation but it could save you around £400 a year on your energy bills and it could pay for itself in around six years.
