There is no single solution, but rather the most appropriate one for the building. The ETICS System (Capoto) is the excellence standard for facades, while Expanded Cork is the premium choice for those seeking thermal inertia and sustainability. We always perform a diagnosis to define the best barrier.

WALLS, ROOFS, FLOORS AND CAPOTO IN LISBON, SETÚBAL AND COIMBRA
A cold roof, a damp north-facing wall and a floor over an unheated garage each lose heat differently, so each needs its own solution. At Obra É Fácil, we match the material and method to the specific problem, whether that’s Capoto on the façade, insulation under the roof, or an interior system where the outside can’t be changed. Pick the option below to see how we approach it.
External Thermal Insulation (ETICS/Capoto)
The most effective solution to eliminate thermal bridging and radically renew a building’s exterior aesthetics. This technique protects the structure from external elements, prevents condensation, and guarantees superior energy efficiency for private villas and large-scale projects.
Roof and Slab Insulation
Technical intervention to prevent ascending heat loss during winter and rooftop overheating in summer. We utilize high-density mineral wools and membranes that ensure temperature stability and structural airtightness throughout the entire property.
Natural Expanded Cork Board
A premium, 100% natural insulation solution with the Portuguese seal of quality. Cork is unmatched in moisture resistance and thermal regulation, making it the ideal choice for those seeking sustainable, high-durability natural solutions.
Interior Thermal Wall Lining
Drywall systems reinforced with high-performance insulation materials. This is the perfect solution for apartments and renovations where external intervention is not possible, allowing for an immediate boost in thermal and acoustic comfort in every room.
Energy Retrofitting of Buildings
Specialized diagnosis and insulation for historical or occupied properties while preserving their architectural authenticity. We adapt modern insulation techniques to elevate the energy performance of older buildings to contemporary comfort standards.
Condensation and Mold Control
Implementation of technical barriers that prevent water vapor penetration and the growth of fungi. This is critical for ensuring a healthy indoor climate and preserving the structural integrity of walls in high-humidity environments.
Thermal Audit and Consultancy
In-depth technical analysis to detect hidden heat leaks and critical cold spots. We provide a customized modernization plan that guarantees the best Return on Investment (ROI) and improves your property’s Energy Performance Certificate.
Heating and cooling bills cut by up to 40%, with a system that pays for itself over the years
A property that's cheaper to run, easier to sell or rent, and warmer to live in
Fewer thermal bridges and less condensation, for a healthier home with fewer damp and mould problems
A smaller carbon footprint, because you rely far less on heating and air conditioning
Insulation that meets current energy standards, so your building stays up to date
Certified materials and a 5-year warranty, backed by our own technical support
How We Plan Your Insulation, Step by Step
DIAGNOSIS, QUOTE AND EXECUTION WITH A 5-YEAR WARRANTY
Insulating a building well starts with understanding where it actually loses heat. At Obra É Fácil, we begin with a free, detailed thermal assessment of each façade or roof, then explain what we’d do and why. You get a clear picture of the expected result and the likely payback before any work begins. Here is how the process runs.

The investment for thermal insulation in Lisbon, Setúbal, or Coimbra depends on critical variables: the total area, the selected materials (cork, mineral wool, or EPS), and the required thermal transmittance coefficient (U-value).
At Obra É Fácil, every proposal is detailed so you know exactly the thermal insulation costs, ensuring rigorous financial planning with no surprises and a focus on the absolute durability of the intervention.
Energy efficiency projects using ETICS (Capoto) or interior insulation systems require precise engineering to eliminate thermal bridges. While the price of thermal insulation varies according to structural complexity, we focus on delivering high-performance solutions that increase property value and drastically reduce long-term energy consumption through superior thermal integrity.
Beyond thermal efficiency, ensure total structural protection against leaks and moisture with our professional Waterproofing solutions.
Frequently Asked Questions
HIGH-PERFORMANCE INSULATION AND COMFORT
What is the best insulation material for the Portuguese climate?
Can I insulate existing houses or apartments?
Yes. For apartments where the facade cannot be altered, we apply interior thermal insulation solutions using reinforced drywall. In villas, external energy retrofitting is the most effective way to elevate comfort without reducing the interior living area.
Does thermal insulation help to permanently eliminate mold and dampness?
Yes. Most fungi issues in Portugal arise from condensation on thermal bridges (cold spots on walls). By insulating correctly, we eliminate thermal shock, keeping surfaces dry and healthy, ensuring total indoor air quality.
What real savings can I expect on my energy bills?
Depending on the chosen system and the previous state of the property, the reduction in climate control consumption (heating and cooling) is between 30% and 50%. Thermal insulation is the investment with the fastest return through accumulated monthly savings.
Does the technical intervention impact the property’s Energy Rating?
The impact is direct and immediate. A professional insulation project is the primary factor in improving the Energy Performance Certificate grade, which increases the property's market value by approximately 15%.
How do you guarantee the durability and airtightness of the work?
We work exclusively with certified materials and strictly follow drying and curing times. All our thermal insulation projects include a 5-year technical warranty from Obra É Fácil, ensuring your thermal shield remains impenetrable.
