We preface this blog with a caution; the best way to increase your energy efficiency is to employ a whole house solution including EWI and Silicone Renders. However, let's not discount the effect of Silicone Renders on their own!
Our EWI Store range of silicone renders offer the best, most flexible, breathable, and hydrophobic render solutions. An application of these renders can drastically and dramatically improve the visual appearance of your property. From this, we gather our first benefit. A modern façade on a property will increase the property value. The wide range of colours, including RAL, NCS, and any custom colours can further benefit the external appearance. If you're unsure on how your chosen colour will look, order a sample!
Saving on costs
The current cost of living crisis is impacting all households in some ways. Incredibly, over 13% of households in the UK lived in fuel poverty in 2020. Ofgem also predicts further cap rises at the start of October, which could accelerate the spiral into recession. Our energy savings blog will help calm those fears.
The crucial factor to consider when looking to invest into render and EWI solutions is how they directly and indirectly impact overall savings. Silicone Renders have the following benefits, all lowering household costs:
- Breathability and water vapour permeability prevents damp and mould growth
- Long lasting and crack resistant finish leading to less frequent refurbishment
- Self-cleaning properties funnel and repel dirt eliminating the need for cleaning
- Hydrophobic quality gathers and wicks away water particles preventing damp
- General resistance to biological growth like mould and algae, with Bio Silicone in turn actively breaking down organic growth
- Silicone Silicate Render is resistant to UV rays which in turn prevents extra heat being trapped inside your house, saving on air conditioning costs

Insulation & Render in partnership
Silicone Render does have insulation properties in isolation. However, we strongly recommend combining our solutions together. The finishing render offers the benefits outlined above, which in turn protect the energy efficient qualities of EWI materials below. Consequently, both systems have an important relationship in improving your property. Furthermore, improvements to your energy efficiency will provide ample savings on energy bills. At EWI Pro, we offer extensive advice on system build ups, which vary depending on the substrate, and can be accessed here.
The combination of a render and EWI system can make a significant impact on your energy bills. For a more detailed discussion of how our solutions can lower your bills, refer to our linked blog. Just a small snippet - you could save in excess of £500 per year on your energy bills with an EWI and Render solution!
