We all want a cosier home, but did you know you could reduce your bills by up to 30% with improved insulation? There are also a range of SEAI grants available.
With all of this fine weather we're having, it’s easy to forget those cold winter nights. But, now is the time to start thinking about what changes you would make to ensure you and your family have a cosy home next winter.
A huge amount of your home heating can be wasted by not having the house properly insulated. Heat can escape rapidly through your walls, your roof and your doors and windows.
There are a number of ways in which you can create a warmer energy efficient home.
External Wall Insulation
External Wall Insulation is highly effective and gives your home a new look while expelling moisture to eliminate dampness. The process includes attaching an adhesive bonding mortar, fibre glass mesh and a new render.
Dry Lining or Internal Wall Insulation
This is a cheaper solution and can easily be included into a redecorating project in your home. Insulation material is attached to the existing plaster work and finished with plaster board, which can then be decorated over.
Cavity Wall Insulation
An expanded polystyrene material is injected in bead form with a binding agent into cavity walls. It is used to reduce heat loss and also helps to eliminate surface condensation in walls. It’s quick and easy to pump insulation into cavity walls and makes a big difference to energy efficiency in your home.
Roof or Attic Insulation
Attic Insulation guarantees immediate savings in your heating costs. Spray foam insulation is used to reach into small areas and fill most voids. This Home Insulation method is especially useful if there is a room in the attic, as you can insulate at rafter height. Another option is a flexible fibreglass or Rock Wool insulation sizing from 100mm thick to 300mm thick depending on the specification of the job. This is one of the most cost effective ways to apply Home Insulation.
