What is External Wall Insulation?

External wall insulation (EWI) is a highly effective thermal upgrade system applied to the exterior of a building. It involves fixing an insulating material to the outside walls, which is then covered with a protective, weather-resistant render finish. This system significantly reduces heat loss, lowers energy bills, and improves the aesthetic appearance of your property.

Our EWI Render Finishes

Once the insulation boards are installed, we offer two primary types of render finishes to complete your Woking property:

1. Acrylic and Silicone Multi-Coat Systems

A multi-coat system is a high-performance external wall insulation system protected by mesh-cloth reinforced polymer renders. This method benefits from being “self-cleaning,” highly flexible, and crack-resistant.

The Multi-Coat Application Process:

Apply a 2-4mm base coat directly over the insulation.
Embed an alkaline-resistant reinforcing mesh for structural strength.
Apply a second 2-4mm layer of base coat.
Once dry, apply a specialized primer layer.
Finish with a coloured texture coat once the primer is touch-dry.

2. Mineral One-Coat Systems

Through-coloured mineral render systems offer a specially formulated mineral-based render that can be hand or machine-applied directly to all major insulation types.

Because it is a one-coat system, there is no waiting for a base coat to dry. The material can be applied rapidly using a spray render pump, making the application highly economical. Fibre mesh reinforcement is applied between wet passes, and the material is finished to a scraped texture the following day. This significantly reduces scaffold hire costs and minimizes disruption to the homeowner.

Board Installation: Fixing the chosen insulation boards (EPS, Mineral Wool, or Phenolic) securely to the exterior walls using mechanical fixings and adhesive.
Base Layer Application: Applying the first base coat and embedding the alkaline-resistant reinforcing mesh.
Top Coat Application: Applying the final coloured texture coat of the customer’s choice.
Site Cleanup: Disposing of waste, thoroughly cleaning the working area, and safely removing the scaffolding.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Do I need planning permission for external wall insulation in Woking?
In many cases, EWI falls under “Permitted Development” and does not require planning permission. However, if you live in a conservation area in Woking, or if the new render significantly changes the appearance of the house, you may need to apply. We always recommend checking with the Woking Borough Council planning portal before starting.

How long does the installation take?
For a standard 3-bedroom semi-detached house in Woking, the entire process usually takes between 2 to 3 weeks, depending on weather conditions and the specific render system chosen.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Namis Facades provides an extensive 10-year manufacturer’s warranty that covers both the quality of the installation and the render systems applied.

Can I see what the colours will look like beforehand?
Absolutely. We offer a Facade Colour Simulator to help you visualize your project’s appearance. You can try out various colours for your EWI, silicone render, or monocouche render finish before making a final decision.
