External Wall Insulation
MyHome Insulation offers professional external wall insulation for house and commercial properties across Dublin and county.
What is External Wall Insulation?
External wall insulation is a type of insulation that is installed on the outside of a house or commercial building, rather than inside the cavity or interior walls. The external wall insulation is typically applied to the external walls of a building as a layer of insulation boards or panels, which are fixed to the existing wall surface and then covered with a protective render or cladding.
External wall insulation is designed to improve the thermal performance of a building and can help to reduce heat loss, which can result in lower energy bills and increased comfort for occupants. Here in MyHome Insulation we can also help to prevent dampness and mold problems by providing a barrier to moisture and improving the overall weather resistance of the building envelope.
One of the main advantages of External wall insulation is that it does not reduce the usable space inside the building, which can be a concern with internal wall insulation. External wall insulation can also be used to improve the appearance of a building, as the render or cladding can be finished in a variety of colors and textures.
External wall insulation can be installed on a range of building types, including masonry, timber frame, and steel frame structures. It is typically installed by a professional insulation contractor, who will assess the building and recommend the most appropriate type of insulation and finish for the specific application.

What are benefits of External Wall Insulation?
External wall insulation (EWI) offers a range of benefits for both residential and commercial buildings. Here are some of the main benefits of external insulation:
Improved energy efficiency: External insulation can significantly improve the thermal performance of a building, helping to reduce heat loss and making it easier to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. This can result in lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint.
Enhanced weather resistance: By adding a protective layer to the outside of a building, external insulation can help to improve its resistance to harsh weather conditions, such as rain, wind, and extreme temperatures.
Reduced condensation and dampness: External insulation can help to prevent moisture from penetrating the walls of a building, reducing the risk of condensation, dampness, and mold growth. This can help to improve indoor air quality and protect the health of occupants.
Improved aesthetics: External insulation can be finished in a range of colors and textures, allowing for a more customized and attractive appearance for the building.
Increased property value: By improving energy efficiency and aesthetic appeal, external insulation can increase the value of a property.
Reduced noise pollution: External insulation can help to reduce noise transmission from outside the building, improving the overall acoustic performance of the building.
Overall, external insulation is a versatile and effective solution for improving the energy efficiency and overall performance of a building. It can help to reduce energy bills, improve indoor comfort, and protect the health of occupants, making it a valuable investment for any building owner.
Other Types of Home Insulation
Spray Foam Attic Insulation
Attic Spray Foam Insulation
Spray Foam attic insulation is designed to be installed in the attic space of a house, where it can help to reduce heat loss and improve energy efficiency.
Spray foam insulation is a type of insulation that is applied to walls, ceilings, and other surfaces using a spray gun. It is made of two chemicals, isocyanate, and polyol resin, that is mixed and sprayed onto the surface to be insulated.
