Types of External cromatic wall insulation systems (EWI Systems pictured above) External wall insulation systems generally comprise firstly an insulation layer (an element which helps to achieve the requisite thermal performance); and secondly,a protected weatherproof finish (usually a render, although brick slips, [3] tiles, and decorative boards can also be used).

In general, it is preferred to have the radiant barrier applied SHINY SIDE DOWN to the underside of the roof with an air space facing down; thus dust won't defeat it, as would be the case of a SHINY SIDE UP barrier. [11] The final method of installing a radiant barrier in an attic is to lay it over the top of the insulation on the attic floor.
Rigid panel insulation, also known as continuous insulation [13] can be made from foam plastics such as polyisocyanurate or polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool. Rigid panel continuous insulation is often used to provide a thermal break in the building envelope, thus reducing thermal bridging.
