External façade insulation - A worthwhile investment in the future of your home

One of the most important steps in modern construction and renovation is to ensure proper thermal insulation. Energy efficiency is not only an environmental issue, but also increasingly an economic one. One of the most common and efficient solutions is to external façade insulation, which could lead to significant savings in the long run.

Why is external insulation important?

A significant part of the energy consumption of buildings is used for heating and cooling. If warm air escapes through the walls in winter or heat seeps in during the summer, it not only affects our well-being, but also our energy bills. External insulation acts as a 'jacket' around the building, helping to maintain a constant, comfortable internal temperature - whatever the season.

What is an external thermal insulation system made of?

The most common thermal insulation materials:

  • Polystyrene (EPS or graphite EPS): good value for money, easy to install.
  • Rockwool: excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, and non-combustible - which is why it is often chosen for condominiums.

Parts of the system in general:

  • glue,
  • thermal insulation boards,
  • meshing (glass fabric),
  • base plaster,
  • coloured thin veneer.

A well-designed and implemented system can 30-40% energy savings on an annual basis.

Also worth it for new construction or renovation

Many people think that insulation is only necessary for old houses, but it can significantly improve the energy rating and increase the market value of a new-build house. In addition, external insulation protects the walls from the weather - rain, frost, UV radiation - and thus extends the life of the building.

Thermal insulation = return on investment

Although the initial cost of construction may seem high at first, the investment is worth it. can pay for itself within 4-7 years thanks to falling utility bills. In addition, the fact that a well-insulated home less thermal fluctuation, which creates a more comfortable living environment.

What to look out for?

  • Have it designed by a professional the layering scheme and the choice of materials - not all facades and building structures can cope with the same solution.

  • Quality workmanship is important - a badly installed insulation board or poor adhesion can lead to long-term problems (e.g. cracking, mould).

  • Don't skimp on the tinting blind either, as it gives the final appearance of the house and protects the system from external influences.

External façade insulation therefore not only provides energy benefits, but also contributes to the long-term protection and aesthetic renewal of the building. Whether it's a new build or a renovation of an old house, good insulation always pays off - in terms of money, comfort and value.
