External Wall Insulation Explained | FULL PROCESS REVEALED!

[@Freedomflyerscraig]

Thanks for this vid. Been plastering and rendering for years. But never used this until now. Thanks for the heads up 👍🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@dbat3291]

Looks a good course. I did the one with EWI Academy in Aylesbury as it's not too far away. It was very similar which is good for a standardisation. Useful hint about the packers and that hot cutter, wow. Another thing to consider, as said, these are on old houses mainly so other works are needed. Facias and sofits may need some sort of work. Rain pipes, poo pipes and other fixings will have to be moved outward. Just things to consider.

[@gazdavies7486]

Amazing. Course, brilliant system. loved it. Really looking forward to working with them on installations next year. Mart is a cracking guy . Great video.

[@Fucnut]

What kind of price per m2 would this install cost the customer.. does look great and better than the companies that offer cavity filling..

[@kaimichael5444]

I did this course last Yr. Different teacher Paul Harris. I really enjoyed it.

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

👍👍

[@damonmavis4113]

This is allo i have done through the summer for the last 3 years. This really transforms a property if done well.

[@cw2126]

THAT WAS A GREAT WATCH FELLA, THANKS FOR SHARING 👍👍👍👍

Very smart idea to put those pieces of foam after the screw and washer. Here in melbourne australia you see alot of the time you can see the screw holes after basecoat and texture has been complete because the screws have been over driven. In the wimter time with the morning dew polystyrene walls look horrible. Great idea

[@Trekz86]

Good system. Here in melbourne this is all we do on 2nd floor walls. We use bigger sheets of foam though. Either 2.4m ×1.2 m sheets or 5.0m×1.2m sheets. Less likely to crack with bigger sheegs

[@Jrambo51]

Interesting video but most external insulation would be to retrofit a house. Old houses were built to breath and this insulation does not allow that. Unless the house is gonna try to be air tight, which is very difficult to do. There is a similar system using wood fibre boards and lime, cork render which is completely breathable and eco friendly. Some wood fibre board manufacturers are gutex and steico. They have EWI systems aswell as internal systems and boards. I hope this info helps anyone.

[@llamedosr7843]

My son was told exactly that regarding his 30s non cavity wall house.

[@Jrambo51]

@@llamedosr7843 yes, after researching i found that it is extremely difficult to make an older house airtight which you must do in order to make this type of insulation work as it should. It doesn't mean its wrong if you want to tackle that big job but i think for most older houses like my 1936 semi, double brick, then woodfibre for me is the way to go. Plus i like the eco benefits of that type of insulation. Wool is good as well, also hemp. Its very interesting if you look into it. I only said this so more people could have the correct knowledge rather making a huge mistake.

[@bluevanmani]

Totally agree unfortunately old solid wall buildings suffer from some kind of damp issues that EWI systems can make worse.Also some off the detail doesn’t look great i.e bay windows and roof eves without soffits

[@TeeTee-zm2re]

​@@bluevanmanilooks shit

[@bluevanmani]

@@Happytruth I’m not talking about cavity walls I’m saying that nine inch solid brickwork (no cavity) can suffer from rising or penetrating damp issues and admittedly will rectify penetrating damp and as you say mould issues ,as the only reason you get this is internal humidity sitting on a cold outside walls

[@martindrury4815]

Great video Blaine. It will interesting to see how much demand you will get by offering this service. Well documented. Thanks.

[@mijalic1]

It looks easy and it is on perfectly flat wall. When its not, if has curves or holes or insulation is ticker 8cm then it ask for extra effort and stronger drilling machine for fixing. Those days I am putting wall insulation at my home, its hard work. Instead of mix material for mold I was thinking to use foam gun for roockwool and styro board to speed up proces but not sure how it works on long terms. And I haven't seen in video you sand outside board before rendering.

[@ΑΝΔΡΕΑΣΒΑΛΛΙΑΝΑΤΟΣ]

Ευχαριστούμε για το βίντεο...!

[@richardjones2151]

sorry for swearing...but that was an AMAZING F-bomb video Ace work to you both So informative and great humour :-)

[@stuartmottram3467]

What fixing is used for brick?

[@pastysteve]

Martyn is a hero

[@nickmail7604]

My mate had this insulation and "render" done on his house. He says that its insulation properties are brilliant, but not so much to look at. At the front of his house the render has cracked off where his son has leant his bike against the house and round the back it looks like a world war 2 bunker thats encountered some tanks! There is damaged render everywhere, just from his son kicking a football repeatedly against the house, you know like a nine year old does.

[@gavinhay6627]

Yeah this stuff is definitely not designed for impact.

[@pcno2832]

I see that kind of thing on commercial buildings all the time, with dings from delivery trucks, trash bins, etc. It looks a little funny when you see a fake granite archway crushed to reveal what looks like packing material. The systems with with an outer layer of cement board, tiles or brick veneer, at least on the ground floor, seem to avoid most of that.

[@olivierklepper2960]

Amazing strength these 9 year olds!

[@TX2BANJO]

Can you go on the course if you’re just a diy person looking to do your own house

[@ThoughtFission]

Are three any issues with condensation with this method? Also, what if you want to hve smooth flat walls instead of redndering them? Can you use thin drywall instead?

[@barts3845]

Hi Blaine, been thinking of having this done, how much do you charge per sq mtrs? Cheers.

[@ryteulopki8069]

This is +50y technology unknown in UK. But is slowly arriving! Europe stopped building cavity walls long time ago and move onto above technology. So yes, it is the future for UK. However Europe is already moving on ;)

[@daveblack9105]

I'm in the UK and just built a house using Nudura. Very good 🙂

[@Lats2490]

You won’t look back after this mate, no more hack offs straight on top with this 😂

[@mythicalvolt495]

I learnt how to plaster by the guy teaching him, sound asf

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

He’s a lovely bloke!!

[@louisbala2791]

I recently had this done via government scheme but they didn't use Dowels plugs just used render causing massive thermal cold bridging..is there anything which can be done ? 😢

[@lmilne4859]

Top video

[@lewisriggs6596]

Pretty cool way of rendering is this for retaining more heat in the house ??

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Exactly that pal!

[@nigelsmith1198]

I use aluminium base rails…. Rats love plastic.!

[@ivanpuskaric6851]

So do you need to be a certified trade like plasterer or a bricklayer to be able to do the course, or can anyone do it?

[@Toliani4]

Very urgent question, can i plaster over siniat wheater defence board ?

[@Sarah-r8u2k]

Hi, can anyone tell me what the name of the drill bit is for making the holes to fit the mechanical fittings. Thanks

[@upsidedown1986]

Excellent 👌

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@paulday7134]

Is that foam flammable?

[@mbak7801]

A house has this near to where I live. There are gaps for gas / electric meter cupboards, a BT connection and some conduit that goes from the ground to first floor in an open channel. I do not know the owners so cannot really ask to use my FLIR on the inside but suspect there will be several cold spots attracting condensation and presumably mold. The concept of this insulation looks interesting, execution in practice I suspect will be flawed.

[@tobybarker6808]

wouldnt you be better putting on beading round windows BEFORE mixing?

[@josephhellstern949]

It looks like an interesting video let me know if you release a English language version :)

[@buildingplasteringdivision7535]

Well done 👏

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

Cheers pal. Thanks for watching 👍

[@stevemaggs484]

It’s not a bad product BUT two three years down the line it attracts dirt,mould because of the texture I’m a decorator and I’ve had to paint many a wall with these finishes !!

[@LenovoLenovo-g2f]

Fix much stronger with SOUDAL foam. With cement is old technology.

[@bluevanmani]

Have to disagree with the amount of work you get through clients that personally fund the work. The only way you can make good money is to get work from council grant work. I do a few EWI jobs in a year but is an expensive option as what you save on your electric/gas bills will take 40years to recover. To me not really an option

[@TeeTee-zm2re]

Gimmicky, expensive, and ruins the look of buildings. It's shit

[@gore5542401]

Where is the mechanical fixing 😢

[@PlasteringForBeginners]

It’s in the video pal 👍

[@anemone9895]

In the real world youd fix your mushroom fixing with a 10 mm sds bit. Hammer home the fixing and hammer a pin in the middle. NOBODY WILL USE THE WHITE FOAM CIRCLES

Видно сразу, что учитель не работал на реальном фасаде. На стенде одно, а в реале другое. На ДСП или ОСБ пенопласт клеят на пену и таких ровных и подготовленных стен в реале не бывает. Всегда нужно будет подбирать толщину клея, чтоб получилась ровная стена. Фасад не только нужно утеплить, но по возможности выровнить утепляемую стену.
