To help homeowners see reasons why the external wall insulation is vital, we have decided to share our knowledge and experience with the use of external wall insulation.

December 19, 2022 - Proguard Exterior Company, a reputable company known for its home exterior management reported its view on the crucial benefits of installing external wall insulation in homes and why homeowners need to take prompt actions when it comes to insulation of walls of home properties.

Based on the experience garnered over the years working for so many clients, the company made it known that insulation of homes is very necessary just as it is vital to have a shelter to live in.

According to the words given by the company, "we have discovered so many disasters related to poor insulation of homes in the past many years and even in recent times. And this necessitated us putting out the benefits of external wall insulation to the public".

The company thus outlined the problems that homes without wall insulation or poor wall insulation encounter. The problems listed include

Health-related problems:

One of the several issues outlined by the company is the health-related issue posed by lack of wall insulation or poor wall insulation. Many homes today are faced with one or more major health problems like asthma, cough, eczema, etc, because of improper wall insulation. While a good insulation pattern helps to protect people from cold weather conditions, poor insulation worsens the situation.

Growth/build-up of unwanted organisms:

Secondly, the company expressed its view about the build-up of unwanted particles and organisms that result from a lack of wall insulation.

Quoting the words of the company's representative;

"Since wall insulation helps to retain heat within the home, lack of insulation or improper insulation causes cold in the internal part of homes, thereby increasing the moisture content or humidity in homes. These moisture contents or humidity, according to the company, encourage the buildup of molds and other unwanted particles which are dangerous to human health".

Financial problem/ high energy bills:

On a more important note, the company also outlined a major financial issue associated with poor wall insulation and they said that "while the health-related problems are also inclusive, the high energy bills of most home properties are a vital issue and one good reason to consider a wall insulation in your home".

The company hammered on the fact that as wall insulation of most homes begins to degenerate or malfunction, the heat energy billing of most homes tends to increase because heat will most Times be lost through the degenerated wall; for homes without wall insulation, there is even a very high tendency that homeowners will spend a lot on the heating system of their home since there isn’t any wall insulation to help keep the heat intact.

Away from listing the problems, the company's representative stated that to eradicate all of the issues related to the lack of wall insulation in homes and improper wall insulation, homeowners should take an intentional step towards including wall insulation in their homes and building property.

According to them, there are three major types of wall insulation, amongst which external insulation is the most recommended. To complete the list of three, the other types of wall insulation mentioned are internal wall insulation and cavity wall.

The reason why the company recommends external wall insulation is that the other types of wall insulation may not be fit for installation in some homes.

Still speaking on why the external wall insulation is the best amongst the other types, it was also stated that external wall insulation is suitable to use on the outside of a home; meaning that the insulation is included in the outer part of the home while the heat retention works for the inner part of the home.

And with that, no heat is lost from the home, the temperature of the home is kept intact even in the cold period and one can even save more money on the energy bill.

Proguard Exteriors Company emphasized that external wall insulation is perfect for homeowners who do not wish to allow their homes to undergo any type of construction inside it. And so if you are to go with that, you do not have to worry about having to create space for the installation process.

Still explaining the suitability of external wall insulation, the company also made it known that if homeowners are concerned about the space or length of spaces contained in each room of their homes, then the external wall insulation should be considered as it doesn't take up the space of your living apartments, unlike other wall insulation types.

Proguard Exteriors Company also addressed what should be done before any external wall insulation is installed in any home. It was stated that the building should be checked thoroughly to ensure that there is no major issue with the exterior part of the building; as this would need to be fixed before the insulation is installed.

The company also explained that external wall insulation should only be done by qualified and professional personnel because the process involved requires an expert touch and even beyond that, it must be done correctly so it could perform well and last long.

Some of the benefits of adequate installation of external wall insulation for homes pointed out by Proguard Exteriors include the elimination of dampness and condensation, reduction in home energy bills, protection of home external structure, improvement in home external beauty and aesthetics, and many more.

Other benefits of installing external wall insulation that the company talked about include

Elimination of dampness and condensation:

As explained; Condensation occurs in most homes when heat from many sources comes in contact with the cold walls of the home and this in turn leads to damping issues. And since External wall insulation helps retain heat and does not allow cold, condensation and damping are greatly reduced.

Protection of the external part of the building:

Proguard exteriors company also explained that since external wall insulation is installed outside of a home, it not only helps retain heat but it also helps prevent the outer part of the building against harsh weather conditions.

Promote Aesthetic:

It was also explained that while installing external wall insulation, a render finish is included to ensure that the whole structure is watertight. And apart from this essential function, the render finish also provides a good-looking appearance to homes after it's applied.

Ensuring a cooler environment during the Summer period

The company further mentioned that external wall insulation does not only help retain heat in living apartments. But during the summer period, it helps regulate the heat to ensure that the internal part of the home is kept relatively cooler.

Reduces noise from outside

Also, the company highlighted that installation of external wall insulation is a great way to reduce noise coming from the external neighboring environment since it helps control the amount of noise entering a home.

After all that has been explained, the company's representative proceeded to explain the processes that the company follows to ensure an adequate installation of external wall insulation. The processes include

Ascertaining the home condition and the most suitable material to use

The first thing the Proguard Exteriors does during an installation is to visit the site where the insulation work will be applied to fully understand the conditions in which they'll be working. As part of the essential steps that must be taken, the company highlighted that when they visit the location of the installation, part of what is being checked is the most suitable type of external wire insulation.

And with that, they thoroughly survey the home to know what materials would work best for the type of external insulation that applies.

Repairing parts of the building if need be

Beyond that, the company also stressed that when they visit a home for external wall insulation, they check the building if it needs any type of fittings or repairs and more so, homeowners are advised to prepare the outer part of the home by clearing all materials that might distract the installation process away.

Commencement of the installation process proper

After the visit has been done and the survey is achieved, the company then begins the external wall insulation proper on another day.

Proguard Exteriors said that installation of external wall insulation typically takes 5-10 days depending on the size of the home property.

The company later concluded that homeowners should make a deliberate effort when it comes to home wall insulation. It was also emphasized that the benefit that could be derived from external wall insulation is way more than the amount that will be spent on it. And so homeowners should not take it for granted.
