External insulation transforms your home's appearance
External wall insulation (EWI) is not limited to improving your home's energy performance. It profoundly changes the facade appearance: additional thickness, new finishes, texture changes. Visualizing the result before work begins is essential to avoid disappointment.
With AI visualization, you can see exactly what your home will look like after EWI installation, with the finish type and color of your choice.
Different EWI systems
There are several external insulation systems, each with a different visual result. The rendered system (ETICS) is the most common: insulation is bonded or mechanically fixed then covered with a finish render. Ventilated cladding offers a more contemporary look with wood, composite, or metal boards.
Visualization allows you to compare these systems on your own facade to determine which integrates best with the existing architecture and neighborhood style.
Simulating possible finishes
With a rendered system, you have many finish options: scratched render, troweled render, crushed render, smooth finish. Each texture gives a different character to the facade. Add to this the color choice from hundreds of references.
For cladding, options include natural wood (cedar, larch, Douglas fir), composite, zinc, aluminum, or even terracotta. The simulation helps you visualize each option in the real context of your home.
Impact on architectural details
EWI adds between 12 and 20 cm of thickness to the facade. This has consequences for window sills, roof overhangs, shutters, and moldings. AI visualization accounts for these modifications to show a complete and realistic result.
This is a crucial point: many homeowners are surprised by the impact of additional thickness on their home's aesthetics. Better to discover it before construction than after.
Convincing co-owners
In a condominium context, EWI must be voted in a general assembly. A realistic before/after visual is a powerful persuasion tool to convince reluctant co-owners. It concretely shows the transformation and helps project the added value.
The visual can be integrated into the project presentation file, accompanying the quote and energy savings estimates.
Financial aid and property value
EWI is eligible for numerous financial aids and grants. The AI-generated visual can illustrate the aid application file and facilitate understanding of the project by funding organizations. Beyond energy savings, well-executed EWI increases property value by 5 to 15% according to market estimates.
