[Greenbuilding] Exterior insulation retrofit

[John Daglish]

Bonjour Norman,

You also have in Europe a range of ETICS (external thermal insulation
system) in natural insulations which can be plastered /
rendered such as wood fibre board (depending on the fabricant most but
not all contain 15% synthetic binder) or cork,
