Exterior thermal insulation

A house warm in winter, cool in summer.

External thermal insulation (ITE) wraps your house in a continuous insulating coat. Less heating, more comfort, a brand-new façade. An investment that pays for itself in 8 to 12 years.

Why ITE

The single most effective move in an energy retrofit.

External insulation treats all thermal bridges in one go: walls, slab junctions, window reveals. It is technically far more effective than internal insulation, and you don't lose any habitable square metre.

In use, it means a 25 to 40% reduction in heating consumption for a poorly insulated pre-1975 house. And in summer, the recovered thermal mass protects you from overheating — a real concern in Toulouse.

Bonus: your façade is fully redone in the process. Scratched, trowelled or smooth render finish, in the colour of your choice, with a 10-year guarantee.

Our systems

Two main families depending on your substrate.

01

Rendered ITE — polystyrene (EPS)

The most common system: EPS panels glued and pinned, reinforced base coat, mineral or organic render finish.

Cost-effectiveR up to 4.5
02

Rendered ITE — rock wool

Mineral, non-flammable, excellent summer comfort. Recommended in fire zones or for R+2 houses.

Non-combustibleAcoustic
03

Ventilated cladding

Timber framing, insulation (wood or rock wool), exterior cladding (wood, composite, metal). Contemporary look.

04

Reveals refurbishment

Window sills, reveals, cornices, parapets — everything is reworked for a clean finish without thermal bridges.

Substrate preparation

Diagnosis of the existing façade, crack treatment, repair of friable renders, brushing, bonding primer.

Render finish

Trowelled, scratched or float finish render. Wide colour range from Weber, Parex, Sto.

Typical timeline

From the visit to the breakdown of grants.

  1. 01

    Technical visit & diagnosis

    Identification of pathologies, measurements, support checks, target R calculation, system choice.

  2. 02

    Quote & grants simulation

    We price the project and indicate the grants available (MaPrimeRénov', CEE, eco-PTZ) — to be confirmed with a France Rénov' adviser.

  3. 03

    Scaffolding installation

    Scaffolding over the entire façade, sheeting and protections. Safe access for craftsmen and protection of your garden.

  4. 04

    Insulation & reinforcement

    Gluing/pinning of panels, reinforcement mesh, base coat, treatment of singular points.

  5. 05

    Finish & site clearance

    Finish render in the chosen colour, scaffolding removal, site clean-up. Maintenance instructions handed over.

About energy renovation grants. MaPrimeRénov' and CEE amounts vary depending on your income and location. We can refer you to a France Rénov' adviser (free, independent) for an accurate calculation. The RGE label may be required for some grants — check directly with us for your specific project.
