Do you have a solid brick or stone-walled house that is cold, damp and draughty? Don’t panic! You can fit insulation under an external wooden cladding.

Commercial insulated cladding is expensive and often needs expert fitting. This book shows an alternative design that anyone with a ladder and a tool bag can install themselves for a fraction of the price.

This design can outperform most commercially fitted systems. It also uses standard materials that can be bought at any good DIY store.

This book shows how to fit a support framework, insulation, weatherproofing and cladding to existing walls. It also shows how to reset our windows to avoid thermal bridges – a flaw which most proprietary cladding systems ignore.

External Wall Insulation is illustrated with pictures from the author’s own home in England, which was insulated six years ago using this system. This home remains watertight and warm to this day.
