External Insulation Specialists Carlow
House wrapping, also referred to as external wall insulation, is one of the most impactful improvements you can make to an older or solid-walled property in Carlow. By encasing the outside of your home in a continuous insulation layer, we eliminate cold bridging and heat loss through exposed walls, dramatically improve the building’s energy performance, and simultaneously give the exterior a fresh, contemporary and fully weatherproof finish.
It is the perfect solution for homes that are unsuitable for cavity insulation or that simply require a new lease of life.
When we wrap a house in Carlow, we mechanically fix and bond insulation boards — either EPS (expanded polystyrene) or, where additional strength and moisture resistance are required, XPS (extruded polystyrene) — across the entire external wall surface.
Over these boards we apply a reinforced base coat with an embedded fibreglass mesh to produce a robust, crack-resistant surface, before finishing the complete elevation in a through-coloured silicone render. Silicone render is breathable, self-cleaning and exceptionally durable, ensuring the new finish remains attractive and stands up to the elements for many years ahead.
All detailing around windows, doors, sills and roof lines is completed to the highest standard, leaving the finished home both beautifully presented and thoroughly protected.
