SEAI One Stop Shop Insulation Grant

External Insulation Grant

This level of upgrade is like putting a blanket around your home and your current structure will then thermally store heat generated by the home and allow for a more Constant and Stable Temperature.

An external wall insulation (EWI) system consists of tested components for insulating the exterior of buildings. It provides an excellent long-term investment in your house. You will benefit immediately from a cosier home and can reduce your energy costs from the very first hour. Insulating boards are placed on the external surface of all the vertical walls of a building and then covered with a protective, decorative render. This protects the building from fluctuating weather conditions, reduces heat losses from inside the building, and will prevent external temperature changes from affecting the interior climate. EWI keeps homes warm in winter and cools in summer, ensuring a home with a pleasant atmosphere by eliminating sharp and high changes in indoor temperature.

EWI will also reduce energy consumption in terms of energy consumed for heating and cooling. It is most suitable for old or unconventional buildings that don’t have cavity walls.

What Insulation is Right for Me?

Choosing the ideal wall insulation for your home depends on a variety of factors. Consider the age and structure of your home, your budget, and your specific insulation needs. External Wall Insulation (EWI) offers comprehensive protection against weather elements and is ideal for homes without cavity walls. Cavity Wall Insulation, on the other hand, fills the gaps in existing walls, providing efficient heat retention. Dry Lining is perfect for homeowners seeking interior insulation without major structural changes.

Assessing your home’s requirements and consulting with insulation experts will help you determine the most suitable solution tailored to your comfort, energy efficiency goals, and budget constraints.

Cavity Wall Insulation

Transform your home into a snug space with a Cavity Wall Insulation Grant. This method of insulation involves filling the gap between inner and outer walls, effectively trapping heat indoors while maintaining a stable, comfortable temperature throughout the year. Say goodbye to chilly drafts and hello to a consistently pleasant temperature indoors.

Cavity wall insulation not only boosts comfort but also leads to significant energy savings, making it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to maximise warmth and minimise costs.

Internal ‘Dry Lining’ Insulation Grant

Upgrade your home’s warmth and comfort with an Internal Dry Lining Insulation Grant. This versatile insulation method involves fixing insulation boards to the interior walls of your home, providing an additional layer of warmth and soundproofing. It’s a simple yet effective way to improve energy efficiency and creates a more comfortable living space without the need for major structural changes.

Enjoy enhanced coziness and reduced energy bills while maintaining the aesthetics of your interior. Dry lining is the perfect choice for homeowners seeking a practical and efficient upgrade to their home’s warmth and insulation.

Attic Insulation and Rafter Insulation

Attic insulation acts as a shield against temperature extremes, ensuring your home remains at a comfortable temperature year round.

By adding insulation to your attic, you create a barrier that traps warmth in winter and repels heat in summer. This essential upgrade to your home minimises energy loss, and significantly reduces the cost of heating your home.

Attic insulation involves several steps during installation. First, any existing insulation is evaluated by our team and removed if necessary. Next, insulation material, such as fibreglass, or insulated boards, is carefully laid into the attic. This process covers the floor creating a thermal barrier that prevents heat transfer between the living space and the attic. To ensure maximum efficiency, insulation is evenly distributed, avoiding gaps or compression. Proper ventilation measures are also crucial to prevent moisture buildup and ensure the roof structure is properly ventilated. The more you insulate the more you should ventilate.

If you have a converted attic, rafter insulation will be the best approach. This involves insulating the slope or pitch of the roof, known as the rafters, to create a comfortable living space. This process typically includes placing insulation material between or over the rafters to maintain a comfortable temperature within the attic. Insulation boards are often used to cover the rafters. This method ensures that the living area remains cosy by preventing heat loss in winter and minimising heat gain in summer. Properly insulating the rafters in a converted attic is vital to maintaining a comfortable environment and maximising energy efficiency within the living space.

Attic insulation not only maintains a cosy atmosphere indoors but also contributes to a more sustainable living environment by lowering energy consumption. Invest in attic insulation as part of your One Stop Shop project for lasting comfort, improved energy efficiency, and a greener home.

Floor Insulation Grant

Floor insulation is a valuable addition to any home, greatly enhancing comfort and energy efficiency.

The amount of heat lost through floors in Ireland can vary based on several factors including the type of construction, age of your home, insulation levels, and heating system. However, on average, it’s estimated that uninsulated floors can account for about 15-20% of heat loss in homes. Properly insulating floors can significantly reduce this heat loss, leading to improved energy efficiency, better air tightness and lower heating costs.

Installing insulation beneath flooring materials like wood, laminate, or tile helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature. This process involves laying insulating materials between or below floor joists, creating a thermal barrier. This level of insulation can be very costly as this usually leads to increased construction work as all flooring needs to be replaced. This grant is more suited to people who are planning deep retrofits and already considering replacing old floors.

The choice of insulation material and installation method may vary depending on the type of flooring and the structure of your home. Our team will advise you on the best approach for your One Stop Shop project.
