Foam Cladding Installation
Modern Insulation with Seamless Finish
Our foam cladding Installation services provide a contemporary solution for exterior wall insulation and rendering. Using high-quality polystyrene or polyurethane foam, we offer excellent thermal performance, moisture resistance, and a smooth, render-ready surface.
Foam cladding is ideal for new builds and renovations, enhancing energy efficiency while offering design flexibility.
What is Foam Cladding?
Foam cladding involves attaching rigid foam panels—typically made of expanded or extruded polystyrene—to external walls before rendering. It acts as both insulation and a base for a smooth or decorative finish. Foam cladding is commonly used in residential and light commercial applications to increase thermal performance and aesthetic value.
Key Benefits:
- Thermal Insulation: Enhances indoor comfort and energy savings.
- Lightweight: Easy to handle and install without adding structural stress.
- Moisture Resistance: Reduces the risk of dampness and related issues.
- Render Ready: Provides a smooth base for textured or painted finishes
- Design Flexibility: Can be shaped and detailed for custom looks.

What is foam cladding installation?
Foam cladding involves attaching lightweight foam panels—typically expanded polystyrene (EPS)—to a building’s exterior. These panels are often rendered to create durable, insulated wall surfaces.
What are the benefits of foam cladding?
Excellent thermal insulation—high R-value improves energy efficiency.
Lightweight and easy to install, simplifying transportation and handling.
Cost-effective compared to many traditional cladding options.
Versatile design options, ideal for rendered finishes and custom aesthetics.
Is foam cladding fire-resistant?
Foam can be combustible, especially EPS types, so it must be paired with appropriate fire-rated finishes and meet local safety regulations. Always follow manufacturer guidelines to ensure safe installation
How does foam cladding perform in harsh weather or windy areas?
When properly installed according to manufacturer specifications—including correct fixings and reinforcement—rendered foam cladding can handle strong winds and harsh weather conditions effectively.
Is foam cladding low maintenance and improve acoustic comfort?
Yes. Rigid foam panels offer both thermal and acoustic insulation, helping reduce noise transmission through external walls. These panels resist moisture, don’t absorb water, and hold up well over time—especially when rendered and sealed correctly. Routine cleaning and inspections are all that’s usually needed
