External thermal insulation and waterproofing works

Home renovation by IG Constructions

As we have mentioned before, a renovation is a great opportunity not only to refresh the look of your home but also to upgrade its building elements. With simple, modern techniques you can protect your building from the weather so that its interior is not affected. By adding external thermal insulation and waterproofing to your home, you gain protection from rain and water, cold and heat, without the indoor temperature being affected – keeping it cool in summer and warm in winter.

External thermal insulation (ETICS)

If you want to protect and insulate the façades of your building against extreme temperatures and adverse weather, the best way is to use an external thermal insulation system. This "cloak" wraps around the sides of your building while also adding a distinctive aesthetic value.

Especially when renovating an old home, adding external insulation increases the building's energy efficiency. This means the renovation pays for itself very quickly, while the value of the home also increases. Proper installation and basic maintenance (periodic visual checks, repairing holes, washing off dirt and mould, etc.) can give the insulation a life of many decades, keeping the inside of your home protected from changes in outdoor temperature.

Insulation – Waterproofing

One of the most serious challenges facing homes, and buildings in general, is water and moisture. Water inside the walls causes corrosion and can affect the durability of the structure.

In addition, mould and fungi can damage furniture and wooden structures. With effective insulation and waterproofing you can protect your home from these effects and stop worrying about corrosion that may develop from within.
