Council houses benefit from external wall insulation

Council houses across Wrexham are set to receive a face lift due to an external improvement programme, which will insulate and improve the outer appearance of the properties… 



Tenants living in non-traditional Council Houses across Wrexham County Borough are set to see a significant drop in their energy bills, and radical improvements to the outer appearance of their properties, thanks to an extensive external improvements programme being undertaken by Wrexham Council’s Housing Department.

Over the next 12 months, 190 properties will benefit from the scheme. The process will see a 100mm layer of insulation applied to the outside walls and elevations of the properties, making the homes far more energy efficient and cheaper to heat.

The project will also make it possible to significantly improve the outer appearance of the houses, thanks to the work the Housing Department have put in to improving the designs of the render and brick slips which cover the insulation. This will mean properties, which are nearly 60 years old in some cases, will effectively look like brand new buildings from the outside.
