Damaged insulation of external walls

When should you consider repairing and maintaining EWI?
Damaged insulation of external walls

Insulation of external walls is a perfect solution to problems with insufficient insulation or lack thereof. It is worth investing in such a system that will reduce the daily operating costs of the house, and make you stop worrying about a sufficient level of heat in the house.

Non-insulated buildings and raw walls absorb up to 45% of heat, which means that our electricity bills are sometimes very high, because such house heat up very long and cool down quickly. Therefore, it is worth considering installing external wall insulation for practical and economic reasons. What to do, however, when our property already has such a heating system, but it is damaged and has ceased to fulfill its task? As a professional company, dealing with the installation of external wall insulation, we also provide its repair and maintenance, so you do not have to break the entire insulation system. Just read our offer and contact us to arrange the details.

When should you consider repairing and maintaining EWI?

Very often it happens that the insulation system founded many years ago requires renovation, or more precisely – repair. In the event that the plaster has been damaged, it is enough to fix the top layer, bypassing the interference with the inner layer, which remained intact. Then such works take little time and are easy to perform, but due to the appropriate materials, such as high-performance render, it is worth focusing on a specialized service provider who has the skill and experience in such works. However, when the internal layer has also corroded and the insulation of the external walls has ceased to fulfill its task, this fault should be addressed immediately. The main task is to replace the insulation boards and their re-protection and plastering. In this case, renovation work will be a little more time-consuming, but if you care about the proper functioning of the entire insulation system, you should take action as soon as possible.

Incorrect installation of external wall insulation

There are many companies on the market that provide services in the field of external wall insulation, but not everyone enjoys a good reputation. Unfortunately, there are companies that, in order to save as much money as possible and to provide the service as soon as possible, act inaccurately and to the detriment of the customer. Then, such a insulation system, which was placed incorrectly, quickly and at a cost, will not fulfill its task and instead of retaining heat in the building, it will absorb them, just like uninsulated walls. What to do if the insulation of the external walls has been incorrectly installed and we are dissatisfied with the service? It is worth to bet on such a company that enjoys a good reputation among customers, and at the same time offers renovation and maintenance of EWI. a specialized company will take care of the removal of a faulty installation, then mount the correct layer of insulation boards, then solidly and accurately make the facade with high-performance render chosen by the customer. Maintenance of such insulation will also be an excellent solution, thanks to which you will be able to enjoy savings on bills and a warm, cozy home

Why should you care about EWI maintenance?

Insulation of external walls is a great solution if you want a warm interior and a stable temperature maintained in the rooms, while reducing the costs associated with energy. It is also worth considering the maintenance of the EWI system in order to refresh the appearance of the property or repair any cracks or damaged render. The refreshed and clean facade and the absence of any defects or damage is a guarantee of the aesthetic appearance of the entire property, and at the same time reducing the risk of further deficiencies. By paying attention to the slightest damage, we can contribute to minimizing the failure of the entire insulation system. By keeping the facade of our house in good condition, we can be sure that the insulation of the external walls will perform its function flawlessly, retaining heat inside the building.
