Part of every quote
- Used on blocks of flats and buildings with storeys above 11m
- Vapour-open, so moisture in solid walls can dry outwards
- Heavier than EPS, so more fixings and careful handling
- Non-combustible board (typically Euroclass A1 or A2-s1,d0 as part of the system)
Homes and walls in Dungannon
We also cover Cookstown and Armagh, close to Dungannon. Dungannon is about 22 miles from Omagh. 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 Tyrone: 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.
For homes in Dungannon near busy roads, mineral wool's sound reduction can be a reason to choose it.

Northern Ireland: planning and regulations
For Dungannon homes, the council's planning office has the final say on external changes; conservation areas, flats and listed buildings need an application or consent.
Building control applies to insulation and major re-rendering in Northern Ireland, and the work is signed off by the council.
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.
Why choose mineral wool over EPS?
Two reasons come up most: fire and moisture. Mineral wool doesn't burn, which is why guidance for taller residential buildings points to non-combustible external wall materials. It is also vapour-open, so a solid wall that holds some moisture can keep drying outwards through the insulation and render.
The trade-offs are weight and cost. Slabs are denser, need more fixings and take longer to install, so the price per m² is higher than EPS.

Mineral wool EWI in Dungannon: questions
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.
Is mineral wool needed for a bungalow?
Rarely for fire reasons. It may still be chosen on a damp-prone solid wall where a vapour-open build-up is wanted.
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.
