Ventilation

The Continuous Thermal Envelope

External Wall

External wall insulation (EWI) is a highly effective and transformative energy efficiency solution that entails installing an insulation layer to the outside of your home’s walls. This insulation is then topped with a protective, attractive render system, resulting in a continuous thermal envelope around the entire house. This comprehensive barrier considerably lowers heat loss via the walls, which are frequently the main area of heat transmission in a structure, while also improving overall energy efficiency. EWI is especially useful for older structures with solid walls, such as many pre-1930s homes in the United Kingdom, which often have low thermal performance when compared to modern construction.

Virko's Comprehensive EWI Approach

Virko offers comprehensive EWI solutions that not only improve thermal performance but also give structural protection and a new, modern aesthetic appeal. Choosing Virko Easy Retrofit for your external wall insulation project means working with experts who are committed to producing high-quality, long-lasting solutions. Our method starts with a complete energy evaluation and a detailed design customized to your property’s specific qualities, such as wall condition, existing features, and aesthetic preferences. We provide a diverse choice of insulation materials, such as mineral wool, expanded polystyrene (EPS), and phenolic boards, selected for their thermal performance and appropriateness for various wall types.

Installation & Multiple Advantages

External Wall

The process starts with insulating the layer and to mechanically attach it to the existing walls. It followed by a basecoat, mesh and lastly a long-lasting, weather-resistant ornamental render available in a variety of colors and textures. This will allow you to raise your home’s thermal performance by completely refurbishing the outside of the house, raising its curb appeal and market value at the same time. EWI has many advantages – much lower energy bills since less heat is lost, a continuously warmer home in winter and cooler in summer, reduced condensation, improved acoustic performance as it dampens external noise, and a great reduction in your property’s carbon footprint. In addition, our installations are carried out to the best standards of the industry by experienced professionals and will assure full compliance with all legislation in the UK including BBA certification if needed.
