What's included

- Heavier than EPS, so more fixings and careful handling
- Finished in mineral or silicone render, or brick slip
- Vapour-open, so moisture in solid walls can dry outwards
Local considerations in Omagh
We cover Omagh and nearby Irvinestown, Strabane and Enniskillen. 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.
Older solid-walled homes in Omagh can suit a vapour-open mineral wool build-up better than foam; the survey checks the wall first.

Permissions in Northern Ireland
Before quoting in Omagh, we check whether the property is listed or in a conservation area, which changes what needs planning permission in Northern Ireland.
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.
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 Omagh: questions
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.
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.
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.

Yes — we survey and quote mineral wool external wall insulation in Omagh (BT78) and nearby Irvinestown, Strabane and Enniskillen, with a fixed written price before any work starts.
