External Insulation is a simple and easy way of thermally upgrading homes and buildings to prevent heat loss of up to 35%. This can be done without much disruption as all works can be carried out whilst the buildings are occupied.
What is External Insulation?
External insulation is a thick board of insulation (100mm Platinum or similar) fixed onto the outside of your home with a brand new render (plaster) finish. The finish coat is pre-coloured so there is no painting required afterwards. The installation can be carried out while the building is occupied, so External Wall Insulation is a simple and easy option to reduce heat loss by up to 35%.

So what is Powerwall?
Powerwall is the render (plaster) manufacturer we use. Powerwall hold certification from NSAI as a system supplier. Powerwall External render systems were developed in Scotland over 30 years ago and these are the two primary reasons we decided to use them. Firstly, the products are time tested (over 30 years) and secondly they are tested in an exposure region similar to (or even more severe than) our own here in the west. Couple that with the fact they are one of the biggest providers in Ireland and were one of the first to receive certification from NSAI.
Are there different types of Powerwall External Insulation?
Yes, Ecobead insulation works instantly. Your home will feel distinctly warmer during the colder months and cooler in the summer months. All year round your home will retain heat for longer thereby reducing the need to be running those boilers so much!
Powerwall System 1
This system is mainly used with Powerwall Dry-Dash Finish. It is a mid-weight insulation system and can be used to increase thermal efficiency in both the renovation of existing buildings and in new building projects. System 1 is flexible in that it can be attached to a wide variety of building substrates and building systems.
Powerwall System 2
A heavy weight insulation system designed for use in areas of high impact. A great variety of finishes from traditional wet cast render to modern acrylic based coatings are available for the completion of the system. Powerwall System 2 can be used on all types of surfaces.
Powerwall System 3
This is our most popular system because it looks and feels just like your typical smooth sand/cement plastered wall. An extremely lightweight insulation system designed for use with modern acrylic renders. This system can be applied to virtually any substrate from masonry to calcium silicate board. The use of modern acrylics means a fantastic range of colour finishes are available for you to choose from.
