Insulation vs Render

Wall insulation refers to different types of insulation material that we adhere to the outside walls of a property. This reduces heat loss to make the building more energy efficient. We apply render on top of the insulation for a nice finish.

Render is a material we apply to external walls to improve the look of a property. Render can also provide waterproofing, fireproofing and insulation.

For maximum benefits, AJT Property Services recommends external wall insulation with silicone render or through-coloured render. However, if your property is already well-insulated, we can just apply render. Our team also offers a re-rendering service in Solihull and the surrounding areas.
