Insulating your walls is the most effective way to save energy and reduce your energy bills. Up to 30% of heat in your home can be lost through the walls. Your walls have the greatest exposure to the elements. You could reduce your heating bill by up to 30%
Here at Eco smart we create your special home. We specialise in making your home more environmentally friendly and energy efficient while also helping you save money on your energy bills, cutting them by at least 50% when you properly insulate your home with External insulation all while increasing your standard of living. Improving your wall insulation is a great way to make long-term savings and improve the comfort of your home.
Our professional External insulation system can be fitted to your existing house and to new builds. External wall insulation is a composite cladding system comprised of suitable insulation and waterproof coating which is applied to all the external walls of a building. External Insulation is by far the simplest, easiest and most energy efficient way of thermally upgrading your home insulation without a massive disruption to homeowners as all works can be carried out whilst the occupants are still living in their properties.
This insulation system involves fixing an insulated board (usually 100mm thick) to the outer face of your home. It will completely wrap your home with a continuous layer of insulation like a blanket while eliminating cold bridging problems. Having this external blanket of insulation lets your masonry walls absorb and store the heat generated inside, therefore enabling your heating system to function more efficiently which has the knock-on effect of reducing your energy bills!
The insulated board is covered with a protective mesh and weather-tight plaster render. We have an extensive range of colours to choose from which make your home look like a newly built house.

EcoSmart use external insulation materials that are provided by ATLAS/AVAL External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) who are based in Poland. ATLAS External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) with render coatings has been given European Technical Approval no. ETA-06/0081 issued in accordance with guidelines of European Technical Approvals ETA 004:2000 and NSAI-Irish Agrément Board Certificate No. 10/0347. Thermal insulation is made from polystyrene boards fixed to the external wall followed by reinforced layer and then a render coating. ATLAS can be used only as an adhered system or as an adhered system with additional mechanical fixing. The system can be applied on new or existing external surfaces of vertical walls (plastered or not) made from masonry such as bricks, blocks, stone, cellular concrete or concrete. The system can also be fixed to horizontal surfaces other than roofs. These may include ceilings over passages, internal walls and roofs (on the ceilings side) of garages or cellars adjacent to heated rooms. The ATLAS/AVAL External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) comprise insulation board (bonded and mechanically fixed) with reinforced undercoat, and decorative finishes.
The technology readiness level of ATLAS External Thermal Insulation Composite System (ETICS) is 9 as it is an actual system proven in operational environment (competitive manufacturing in the case of key enabling technologies; or in space). EcoSmart will assess each building and offer professional advice to clients on the energy efficiency measures and any grants available for them to avail of. All external insulation measures are following the required building regulations.
- Lowers your fuel bills; By reducing the amount of heat escaping through your walls, you can heat your home faster and keep it warmer for longer using external wall insulation (EWI).
- Protects the fabric of your home; By keeping the building warm and dry, EWI protects the building's structure and improves weatherproofing. The finished render is durable and breathable so you won't have issues with damp either.
- Improves the appearance of your home; We have a wide range of finishes available making it possible to mimic the existing façade of your home or to completely re-model it using any of our aggregate or textured finishes to our brick and more complex décor profiles.
- Reduces carbon footprint; By choosing to have external wall insulation you are helping to reduce carbon emissions.
- Low disruption; Although not disruption free, external wall insulation is a significant undertaking, however, it offers less disruption to your home life than internal solid wall insulation. It also won't affect the size of your rooms.
