House Insulation in Krakow
Professional thermal modernization of single-family homes using the ETICS system. Reduce heating bills by up to 60% and take advantage of the Clean Air program subsidy.
What is house insulation?
House insulation is a thermal modernization process involving covering external walls with insulation material — most commonly polystyrene or mineral wool — as part of the ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System), also known as the wet render method.
The ETICS system is the most commonly used building insulation technology in Poland. It consists of several layers: adhesive mortar, thermal insulation, reinforcement mesh, primer, and exterior plaster.
Properly executed insulation can reduce heating costs by 30-60%, improve the building's energy class, and eliminate thermal bridges. The investment qualifies for the Clean Air program subsidy, covering up to 90% of costs.

When should you insulate your home?
High heating bills
Uninsulated walls account for 30-40% of heat loss. Insulation drastically reduces energy consumption.
Moisture and mold
Wet corners, wall mold, window condensation — symptoms of thermal bridges that insulation eliminates permanently.
Facade renovation
When renovating a facade, insulate simultaneously. Scaffolding costs are incurred once, benefits are doubled.
Older building
Houses from the 1960s-90s were built without adequate insulation. Adding 15-20 cm of polystyrene transforms thermal comfort.
Boiler replacement
When replacing heating under Clean Air, insulate at the same time. A smaller boiler will suffice, and the investment pays off faster.
Energy class improvement
Energy certificates are mandatory for home sales. Insulation upgrades from class E-F to B-C, significantly boosting market value.

FAQ
How much does house insulation cost per m²?+
From 180 to 350 PLN/m² depending on materials. White EPS with acrylic plaster: 180-220 PLN/m². Graphite with silicone plaster: 250-300 PLN/m². Mineral wool with silicone: 300-350 PLN/m². Prices include materials and labor.
What material is best for insulation?+
Graphite polystyrene (15-20 cm) is best for most homes. Mineral wool is recommended for wooden buildings, historic structures, or high acoustic requirements.
Can I get a Clean Air subsidy?+
Yes — insulation qualifies for Clean Air. Subsidies cover 40-90% of costs depending on income. Maximum amounts: 20,000-60,000 PLN. We help with documentation.
What warranty do you provide?+
We provide 5-10 year warranty on workmanship. Certified ETICS systems (Weber, Baumit) include manufacturer material warranty. Properly installed ETICS lasts 25-30 years.
