A Durable and Stylish Insulation Solution for Solid Walls
At EnergyEase, we aim to deliver the most efficient and non-invasive insulation method for every home. In many cases, our go-to solution is blown-in insulation — quick, clean, and cost-effective. But when that’s not technically possible, we offer a powerful alternative: ETICS, commonly known in Portugal as Capoto.
🧱 What Is Capoto / ETICS?
ETICS (External Thermal Insulation Composite System), or Capoto, involves applying insulation panels — such as EPS, XPS or mineral wool — directly to the outside of your building, followed by a durable, weather-resistant render. This method completely wraps your home in a thermal shield, drastically reducing heat loss while also giving the façade a modern, refreshed appearance.
🔄 When Do We Recommend Capoto?
We recommend Capoto in situations where:
- Your home has solid walls without an internal cavity
- The wall cavity is blocked or too narrow for blown-in insulation
- You want a comprehensive exterior insulation layer
- There’s an opportunity to upgrade the visual aspect of your façade
Capoto is an excellent solution when blown-in insulation isn’t technically viable, and you're looking for both thermal efficiency and aesthetic improvement.
🌟 Benefits of Capoto / ETICS:
- 🌡️ Excellent thermal insulation for solid or older walls
- 💨 Reduces thermal bridging and improves overall wall performance
- 🎨 Gives your home a modern, clean look
- 🔇 Adds a degree of acoustic insulation
- 📈 Improves your home’s energy certificate and property value
- 💰 Cuts down heating and cooling costs over time
🏡 Real Example: Townhouse in Cascais
The client’s exterior walls had no cavity, and the existing façade was outdated. Blown-in insulation was not an option. We applied a full ETICS Capoto system, which not only improved insulation performance but gave the home a sleek, modern look. Heating costs dropped by 40%, and the project qualified for support via the Fundo Verde municipal subsidy.
