Local considerations in Rhosllanerchrugog
We cover Rhosllanerchrugog and nearby Wrexham, Buckley and Hawarden. It's roughly 4 miles from Rhosllanerchrugog to Wrexham, the largest town in Clwyd. North Wales has many solid stone and slate-built homes, Victorian seaside terraces and post-war council estates.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across Clwyd: sheltered town streets fare better than walls on high ground or facing the prevailing weather, and the render, beads and cill details are chosen with that in mind.
Where eaves are shallow on a house in Rhosllanerchrugog, grey EPS can sometimes avoid the cost of extending the roofline.

Permissions in Wales
We check Rhosllanerchrugog addresses for conservation areas and listing before quoting, because Welsh permitted development rules don't cover every external change.
Welsh Building Regulations expect walls to be upgraded when a substantial area is renewed, and building control signs the work off.
What is EPS insulation?
Expanded polystyrene is a closed-cell foam made from beads that are expanded and moulded into boards. White EPS is the standard grade; grey EPS has graphite added, which reflects radiant heat and improves performance by roughly 15–20%, so a thinner board does the same job. Both are used inside certified render systems where the board, adhesive, fixings, mesh and finish are tested together by the manufacturer.

EPS insulation in Rhosllanerchrugog: questions
White or grey EPS?
Grey graphite EPS insulates better per millimetre, so it is the pick where space is tight at the eaves or around windows. White EPS is slightly cheaper and works well where the extra thickness isn't a problem.
How long does EPS last on a wall?
The board itself doesn't degrade when protected by the render system. Service life depends on the render, sealants and detailing, typically 25–30 years or more with maintenance.
Is EPS insulation safe on a house?
EPS is used inside render systems that are fire-tested as a whole. On low-rise houses it is widely used. On taller buildings, or where guidance calls for non-combustible materials, mineral wool systems are specified instead.
