Installation of external wall insulation 

An excellent way to increase insulation is external wall insulation. Insulation on the exterior walls of buildings reduces heat loss and improves building envelope. Solid walls were the norm in buildings built before 1930. These cavities cannot be insulated. Insulating exterior walls is necessary to improve insulation properties. Insulating the interior would decrease usable space and increase the room size.

How to Insulate an External Wall

Render test

The first step in installing exterior wall insulation is a render test. A render test is the first step to installing exterior wall insulation.

Pipework can be removed easily and modified

Before the installation can start, it is important that the render is tested and smoothed. Before the installation can start, it is important to test the render and smoothen it.

Windows should not be protected

Professional companies often apply a protective layer on your doors and windows to prevent them from being damaged during installation.

A starter track

Before insulation can begin, it is important to measure the insulation’s height. Most external wall insulation cannot reach the ground. It should be at least three inches above ground. Once you have established the height, the aluminum carrier tray/starttrack can be placed. This is a great starting point for beading.

Insulation boards

After the starter track has been installed, insulation boards can be applied to the wall. Once each board has been coated in adhesive, they can then be attached to the wall in a specific sequence. You can cut the insulation boards to fit around windows or other obstructions. After the insulation boards are installed, you can remove any edges with a rasp. This will ensure that your surface is completely flat.

Fixtures for mechanical devices

You can attach insulation boards using mechanical fixings. There are approximately 10 fixings for insulation boards that resist windblown damage and fall apart in poor conditions.

Adding beading

To insulate around doors and windows, corner beads or stop beads can be used.

Add reinforcement mesh to

Two layers of strengthening properties will be applied to all boards after they are installed. A fibre glass mesh is sandwiched between the layers.

Primer

After the reinforcing mesh has been installed, primer is applied. Primer can often contain granules which help to stick the final render coat on the surface.

Final rendering

Apply the final coat. Apply the final coat to your exterior.

Reinstall pipework

All fixtures and pipework can be removed from walls. You can seal all openings with the render-run pipework. Your windows may need to have their sills raised after the exterior wall insulation has been installed. You can do this by either extending or adding sills to your windows. Verge trims may be needed to extend the wall at the roof-wall junction.
