Local considerations in Craigavon
We cover Craigavon and nearby Lurgan, Portadown and Banbridge. 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.
Older solid-walled homes in Craigavon can suit a vapour-open mineral wool build-up better than foam; the survey checks the wall first.

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.
Council building control in Northern Ireland checks insulation work of this kind; the quote says how the application is handled.
On taller buildings in Northern Ireland we specify non-combustible mineral wool systems and confirm the classification with building control, in line with Technical Booklet E.
What about noise?
Dense mineral wool adds mass and absorbs sound, so homes beside main roads or railways often notice a quieter interior, particularly where windows are also upgraded. The improvement depends on the whole wall and windows, so we don't quote decibel figures without testing.

Mineral wool EWI in Craigavon: questions
Does mineral wool get wet?
It is water-repellent and protected by the render system. Like any insulation it must not be left exposed to rain during installation, so boards are covered and work stops in wet weather.
Is mineral wool better than EPS?
Not always better — different. Mineral wool wins on fire performance, breathability and acoustics; EPS wins on cost, weight and thinner boards for the same U-value. The wall, the building height and your priorities decide it.
Can mineral wool EWI have a brick finish?
Yes. Brick slips can be bonded over mineral wool systems designed for them, with additional fixings for the extra weight.
