EPDM is a synthetic rubber membrane installed seamlessly, with a lifespan of more than 50 years. Roofing felt is a multi-layer bitumen system with a lifespan of around 25 to 30 years and can be repaired locally if needed. EPDM is the premium choice for durability, green roofs and solar panels, while roofing felt is a reliable and more budget-friendly option. Our advisors will help you choose the solution that best suits your needs and budget.

From 1 March 2026, you no longer need planning permission for external roof insulation, provided that the total thickness of the insulation and roofing does not exceed 26 cm and the roof edge is not significantly altered.

Façade insulation helps lower your energy bills, improves living comfort and provides long-lasting protection for your home. It also gives your façade a completely new appearance with a finish in render, brick slips or spray cork. In addition, it increases the value of your property and may qualify you for attractive grants in many cases.

The duration of an insulation project depends on several factors, including the size of your home, the type of insulation and the weather conditions. On average, a facade insulation project for a single-family home takes a few weeks. During a free consultation, we assess your specific situation and provide you with a realistic timeline. We work efficiently and professionally so you can enjoy a better-insulated home as quickly as possible.

• Government recommendation: In many municipalities, a maximum insulation thickness of 14 cm along the public street boundary is recommended or even required. This helps prevent the facade insulation from extending beyond the building line and encroaching on public land.
• Permit requirements: If you want insulation thicker than 14 cm, this may be possible, but planning permission may be required.

With 14 cm of insulation, you achieve excellent energy performance in most cases while keeping the approval process as straightforward as possible.

In most cases, no planning permission is required for external facade insulation in Flanders. However, for properties located in protected areas or when significant changes are made to the appearance of the facade, a notification or planning permission may be required. Faccader will guide you through the administrative process and advise you during the site visit.

External facade insulation is suitable for almost all types of homes, including detached, semi-detached and terraced houses, as well as apartment buildings. The only requirement is a stable and solid surface. One of our building advisors will assess this during a free on-site visit.

The savings from facade insulation depend on several factors, including the insulation performance of the chosen material, the size of your facade and your household’s energy consumption. On average, facade insulation can reduce energy costs by 20% to 40%. You’ll notice the difference on your energy bills while also enjoying a more comfortable home.

The cost of a facade renovation with insulation and a render finish typically ranges from €90 to €130 per m², depending on the insulation thickness, the chosen finish and the accessibility of the facade. At Faccader, you always receive a fixed price: the price in your quotation is the price you pay.

The crepi itself is only a few millimetres thick, typically 1 to 3 mm. The overall thickness of the facade is mainly determined by the insulation layer, which can range from a few centimetres up to 14 cm, depending on your home’s insulation requirements.

Render is very low maintenance. The synthetic render used by Faccader is water-repellent, dirt-resistant and self-cleaning. If any dirt does appear, it can easily be cleaned with water and a mild detergent.
