Is External Wall Insulation Good Value For Money?

By

ABSTRACT

In addition to other aspects that are environment friendly, the external wall insulation system. The external wall insulation system provides building and ecological physical advantages for the modernization of the buildings that already exists and for some new buildings. The outcome is a tested and tried external wall insulatio0n system that means that the users do not have to make any extra efforts or compromises for it. The main aim of this research is to find that how the external wall insulation offers a good value of money. The main objective of this research is to find that how the usage of external wall insulation helps in saving money that is not possible to be achieved with the help of other insulation methods. The external wall insulation has a longer lifetime. The savings that are made with the help of external wall insulation use is seen even after several years. The external wall insulation provides high and financial and energy savings (Roys, 2010). External wall insulation is mainly very helpful in cases where the house has solid walls and the time of the maintenance work. The external wall insulation helps in providing higher savings in fuel bills. The external wall insulation is applied to all the exposed walls, and it helps in dropping the requirements of heat. In case of external wall insulation, heat control settings must be revisited in order to maximise savings. The research will find that how external wall insulation a good value of money and how external wall insulation helps in saving the money.

Introduction

The external wall insulation system is protective, thermally insulated, exterior cladding and thermally insulated system. The exterior cladding system includes mineral wool, phenolic foam, polyurethane foam and expanded polystyrene. In addition to this, it also includes reinforced synthetic, mineral or cement based finish and plaster. The installation and design of external wall insulation is the job of a specialist. External wall insulation system is greatly recommended to utilise certified components and materials (Kuehn, 1998). The typical external wall insulation method involves attaching insulation boards of standard size, to the wall, and then finishing the wall with a reinforced cladding and render. The insulation boards are about 50-91 mm in thickness, which is fixed to the wall with mechanical and adhesive fixings. The total thickness of wall insulation I 60mm to 160mm. In order to achieve cost effective results from this exterior wall insulation method; the insulation must be carried out as the part of the renovation work. External wall insulation system is the widely used insulation system that is available for the building constructors. The external wall insulation system is the energy efficient and cost effective solution. In the external wall insulation system; the outside part of the walls are insulated. Insulation is very much cost effective when it is placed ...
