Homes and walls in Craigavon
Surveys in Craigavon also cover the surrounding BT62 district and towns such as Lurgan and Portadown. Northern Ireland has many rendered and pebble-dashed homes, older solid-walled rural houses, and estates built by the Housing Executive.
Exposure to wind-driven rain varies across County Armagh: 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.
We compare EPS against mineral wool for each Craigavon enquiry rather than assuming one board suits every wall.

Approvals in Northern Ireland
For Craigavon homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
External wall insulation is building work under the Building Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2012, so council building control is involved, with Technical Booklet F1 covering dwellings.
How thick does the board need to be?
On a 225mm solid brick wall, around 90mm of grey EPS or 100–110mm of white EPS typically gets close to 0.30 W/m²K. Stone walls, concrete panels and hollow-block walls start from different points, so the system supplier's calculation for your wall sets the final thickness.

EPS insulation in Craigavon: 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.
