External Insulation

is the best solution for achieving a warmer environment for the majority of homes and is the most efficient way to insulate an existing building.


External Wall Insulation (EWI) is a composite cladding system comprised of suitable insulation and waterproof coating which is applied to all the external walls of a building. The application of EWI reduces heating bills, and consequently, carbon emissions also.


It uses the fabric of the building like a storage radiator. Because the heat can no longer escape through the outer layer of insulation, it is reflected back into the living areas, creating a constant warm home. That's why Polar Bears have their insulation on the outside!


With up to 40% heat lost through external walls, EWI can help reduce your heating bills by up to 40%. It can also reduce your carbon footprint by cutting your CO2 emissions by up to 2.5 tonnes per year.


We at SBC have always focused on providing the best products, service and standard of finish in external wall insulation in the industry. If you require further information, please contact us.

The Home Energy Saving (HES) scheme provides grant funding to homeowners who are interested in improving the energy efficiency of their home in order to reduce energy use, costs and greenhouse gas emissions. It is a national scheme and is open to all owners of existing houses built before 2006. The scheme is administered by Sustainable Energy Ireland and its agents.


Assistance will be provided by the payment of fixed grants towards the costs of implementing home improvement measures. The types of measures eligible under this scheme are roof insulation, wall insulation, heating controls and new boiler. There is also a grant for households who choose to get a Building Energy Rating (BER) assessment Before and After the works are completed.


SBC can assist you in applying for the grant. If you are interested please contact John Higgins at 01-2393800 and we will gladly deal with any queries.


* Please note that while you are entitled to apply for each Measure there is a minimum requirement that the grant amount in the first application must be €500 or greater. The BER grant cannot form part of this €500 amount.
