The cappotto termico, or external wall insulation system, is one of the most effective solutions for improving the energy efficiency and comfort of a building. It involves applying insulating panels to the exterior walls of a structure, which are then finished with protective and decorative coatings.
But is it really worth it in a mild climate like Liguria? Yes—and here’s why.
🔍 What Is the Cappotto Termico?
It’s a thermal insulation system made of materials like EPS, rock wool, cork, or wood fiber that’s applied to the outside of the building envelope.
This “coat” helps keep heat inside during winter and outside during summer, reducing the need for heating and air conditioning.
✅ Advantages of External Wall Insulation
-
Lower Energy Bills
Reduces heat loss in winter and overheating in summer—cutting costs on both heating and cooling. -
Greater Comfort
Keeps indoor temperature stable, eliminating cold walls and thermal bridges. -
No Loss of Indoor Space
Unlike internal insulation, it doesn’t reduce usable space inside your home. -
Enhanced Property Value
Improves your building’s energy rating (APE), aesthetics, and market appeal. -
Environmental Impact
Lowers CO₂ emissions and helps contribute to environmental sustainability goals.
🌦️ Why It’s Worth It in Liguria
Even in a region with a mild coastal climate like Liguria, the cappotto termico offers concrete benefits:
-
Temperature fluctuations between day and night are common, especially inland—insulation helps maintain a stable indoor climate.
-
Humidity and salt air can damage façades; modern insulation systems also provide added protection for exterior walls.
-
Energy costs are rising everywhere, even where winters are short—cutting waste is always a smart investment.
