Attic Insulation

Many houses have either no insulation or are inadequately insulated. The current building regulations specify that 10 inches of insulation in the attic is a must. Up to 30% of heat loss is through the roof. Proper attic insulation will dramatically reduce this loss and in turn save you money. A grant of €250 is available from the SEI under the HES scheme should you wish to apply. Please go to www.sei.ie/hes for more information.

Pumped Cavity Insulation

Most houses built between 1970 and 2004 will have some level of wall insulation. However, compared to houses constructed under today’s standards, they will perform very poorly in terms of energy efficiency and heat retention. This is particularly true in older houses where the insulation board was carelessly cut and fitted. Having said that however, some newer houses may only have sheets of aeroboard in the cavity and these houses would benefit greatly from being pumped with Ecobead Platinum. A grant of €400 is also available from the SEI under the HES scheme. Please go to www.sei.ie/hes for more information.

The Procedure:
Small injection holes are drilled in the external walls, insulation beads are then injected under 120lbs of pressure. This forces the existing board tight against the inner leaf and completely fills the remainder of the cavity. Thermal improvement of up to 300% can be achieved using this method.

Dry Lining

The term dry lining strictly applies to the use of plasterboard to replace a sand and cement or wet plasterfinish to internal blockwork. It is mainly carried out in older houses to dry the internal walls and to improve insulation and heating in the home. It is a very successful means of insulation and a grant of €2500 is available from the SEI under the HES scheme. . Please go to www.sei.ie/hes for more information.

External Insulation

The simple solution is to insulate from the outside. Insulation from the outside has a clear advantage over conventional insulation techniques. By insulation from the outside, the entire building structure is protected from the cold and wet weather. This type of insulation is ideal for mass concrete and stone built buildings. As you do not have to vacate your home, it is a hassle free service and rest assured you will notice the difference immediately. A grant of €4000 is available from the SEI under the HES scheme. .
