The Advantage of External Wall Insulation

A poorly insulated building can lose up to 35% of its heat through the external walls. External wall insulation significantly reduces this heat loss, leading to a reduction in annual fuels bills by as much as 25%. The system involves the mechanical and adhesive fixing of insulation boards to the outside of a property. This layered method insulates the property and helps prevent heat from escaping unnecessarily. K Systems have developed EWI systems to suit every building and construction type. The advantage of installing an external wall insulation system can be exceptionally beneficial.
