Insulation
Wall Insulation
There are 3 types of wall insulation that you could consider for your home:
- Internal Wall Insulation
Internal Wall Insulation is the process of adding extra insulated lining on the inside of the walls in your home. This is then covered with smooth plasterboard to give a stylish modern look.
2. Cavity Wall Insulation
In many homes around Ireland there are two rows of brick in each wall with a gap, or ‘cavity’, in between them. Cavity Wall Insulation involves filling these gaps with a polystyrene material. The ease and effectiveness of this solution makes it very popular.
3. External Wall Insulation
External Wall Insulation is the god standard solution. It’s also the most expensive. Commonly known as ‘the wrap’, this solution involves coating the outer layer of your walls with insulation material. This is then covered and made weather proof. Typically this type of solution will be implemented as part of a large retrofit project.
Attic Insulation
Up to 30% of the rising heat in your home could be lost through a poor;ly insulated attic. The good news is that this is relatively quick and easy to fix. There is two options for attic insulation; Rockwool and Sprayfoam. Talk to our experts today to discover the right solution for your home.
Floor Insulation
Floor Insulation may be a comp[lex solution as it involves removing your current flooring. However, if you are planning to redecorate your home or get new flooring installed as part of a deep retrofit this can be a great option.
