What is an Elastomeric Energy Efficient Coating?
An elastomeric energy efficient coating is a flexible, rubber-like paint applied to exterior walls or roofs. It expands and contracts with temperature changes, preventing cracks and leaks. This coating reflects sunlight, which helps keep your home cooler in summer, reducing the need for air conditioning and cutting energy bills. It also protects against moisture and weather damage, improving your home’s insulation and durability.
Over time, this can lower your heating costs and help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature year-round. It’s a smart, cost-effective way to boost your home’s energy efficiency and long-term protection.
What is the Elastomeric Energy Efficient Coating Application Process?
The surface is cleaned thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, or flaking paint. Any cracks or damage are repaired to ensure proper adhesion of the coating.
A primer may be applied to improve adhesion, especially on porous or previously unpainted surfaces. This helps the coating bond better and last longer.
The elastomeric coating is applied using rollers or sprayers in multiple layers. Each layer is allowed to dry fully for maximum coverage and performance.
Once the coating is applied, it’s inspected for uniformity. It then cures fully, forming a flexible, weatherproof barrier that boosts energy efficiency.
Signs You Need an Elastomeric Energy Efficient Coating
If your home’s paint is cracking or peeling, it may indicate weather damage. A new coating seals and protects surfaces from further deterioration.
Unexpected increases in heating or cooling costs can signal poor insulation. Elastomeric coatings improve thermal performance, helping to reduce energy usage and save money.
Moisture seeping through walls can cause damp spots or mould. This coating forms a waterproof barrier, helping prevent internal water damage and related issues.
Sun exposure can cause exterior walls to fade. Elastomeric coatings are UV-resistant, restoring your home’s appearance and protecting it from further sun damage.
Small cracks in exterior walls allow moisture in. Elastomeric coatings flex with the building, bridging cracks and preventing water penetration and structural wear.
If your home struggles to stay warm in winter or cool in summer, poor insulation may be to blame. This coating helps stabilise indoor temperatures.

How Does an Elastomeric Energy Efficient Coating Work?
An elastomeric energy efficient coating works by creating a thick, flexible layer over your home’s exterior walls or roof. It expands and contracts with temperature changes, preventing cracks and sealing existing ones.
The coating is waterproof, helping to block moisture and reduce the risk of damp or mould. It also reflects heat from the sun, keeping your home cooler in summer and helping reduce the need for air conditioning.
In colder months, it acts as an insulating barrier, keeping warmth inside. This all-in-one solution protects your home from the elements while improving energy efficiency and lowering your heating and cooling costs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does an elastomeric energy efficient coating help reduce energy bills?
The elastomeric energy efficient coating improves your home’s thermal performance by preventing heat loss in winter and reflecting solar heat in summer. It creates a sealed, insulated barrier on your external walls, helping to stabilise indoor temperatures and reduce reliance on heating or cooling systems. As a result, less energy is used to maintain comfort, leading to noticeable savings on your monthly bills. Over time, these savings can add up significantly, especially in homes with poor insulation or older walls that are prone to heat leakage and moisture penetration.
Can an elastomeric energy efficient coating stop damp problems?
Yes, the elastomeric energy efficient coating can help reduce and prevent damp problems by sealing cracks and creating a waterproof barrier on your home’s exterior walls. This barrier helps stop water from penetrating porous surfaces, such as brick or render, which is a common cause of internal damp and mould. While the coating does not replace proper damp-proofing for severe cases, it significantly improves the wall’s resistance to rain and moisture. Our service includes a free damp survey to assess whether the coating is suitable for your property and to identify any deeper issues before application.
How long does the elastomeric energy efficient coating last?
When professionally applied, the elastomeric energy efficient coating can last for 20 years or more, depending on weather conditions and surface preparation. The high-performance materials used in the service are designed to be durable and flexible, resisting peeling, cracking, and fading over time. Proper maintenance, such as occasional cleaning and inspections, can help extend its lifespan even further. Our trained team ensures that the coating is applied in ideal conditions and with full surface preparation, providing maximum longevity and protection.
Is the elastomeric energy efficient coating suitable for all homes?
Most homes with external brick, render, concrete, or masonry surfaces can benefit from the elastomeric energy efficient coating service. It is particularly effective for older properties or those exposed to harsh weather. However, suitability depends on the condition of the walls and any existing damage. Our team offers a free assessment to determine whether your property is a good candidate. If there are structural issues or severe dampness, we will advise you on any necessary repairs before applying the coating. Homes without cavity wall insulation or with frequent temperature fluctuations will see especially good results.
Will the elastomeric energy efficient coating change the appearance of my home?
The coating can improve your home’s appearance by giving walls a smooth, clean, and uniform finish. It is available in various colours to suit your preferences, and it helps cover minor surface imperfections such as hairline cracks and weathered render. The finish is durable and UV-resistant, so it maintains its look over time. During your consultation, we will show colour options and samples so you can choose a look that complements your property.
How long does the elastomeric energy efficient coating application take?
The full process typically takes between three and five days, depending on the size and condition of the property. This includes time for surface cleaning, any necessary repairs, priming (if required), and applying two or more coats of the elastomeric material. Each layer needs time to dry properly to ensure maximum performance and durability. We aim to complete the work with minimal disruption, and our team will communicate the schedule clearly before starting. Larger homes or buildings with more complex surfaces may take slightly longer.
Is there any maintenance needed after the coating is applied?
The elastomeric energy efficient coating is low maintenance. It is designed to be highly durable and weather-resistant, so most homes require little upkeep. However, occasional cleaning with a soft brush or hose to remove dirt, algae, or debris is recommended to maintain the coating’s appearance. It is also a good idea to have periodic inspections, especially after extreme weather, to ensure the coating remains intact.
What preparation is involved before applying the elastomeric energy efficient coating?
Proper surface preparation is essential to ensure the coating adheres correctly and performs effectively. Our team begins by cleaning the exterior walls to remove dirt, moss, or flaking paint. Any cracks or damaged render are repaired, and in some cases, a primer is applied to improve adhesion. We carry out a full inspection during your free survey to assess the condition of your walls and identify any issues that need to be addressed first. This thorough preparation ensures the coating bonds properly and provides long-term protection and energy efficiency.
Is the elastomeric energy efficient coating breathable?
Yes, the coating is designed to be breathable. It allows moisture vapour from within the walls to escape while preventing water from entering. This helps to maintain a healthy internal environment and reduces the risk of condensation or trapped damp. Breathability is important in the UK climate, where frequent rain and temperature changes can affect wall structures.
