Wall Insulation
Installation of wall insulation requires a level of competency, experience and the use of specialist equipment, meaning installation is not a DIY job for most people nor will the SEI insulation grants scheme provide support to people completing D.I.Y. installations.
It is a good idea to discuss Wall Insulation with any friends,
or
neighbours or workmates who may already have it installed, to give you a better insight of advantages & improvements people have experienced when they had it installed.
There are 3 types of Wall Insulation that we provide.......

Cavity Wall Insulation - Not suitable for everyone
In the late 70’s and 80,s housing schemes in Dublin and the surrounding areas were constructed with hollow blocks (9 inch cavity blocks).
It is not possible to achieve successful Cavity Insulation of any type in hollow blocks due to cold bridging and the design of the blocks. (Unfortunately there are companies, especially foam filled installers at this practice.) There are two methods of insulating a hollow block structure. (Dry Lining Insulation & External Wall Insulation, explained below)
External Wall Insulation
The process is explained on our External Wall Insulation page, it has a great advantage that all works are carried out on the outside walls and does not interfere with life inside of the home, with the exception of scaffolding erected on the outside for a short period.

The most common practice to fix the insulated boards to the existing internal walls with mechanical fixings or by dabbing the boards with an adhesive compoundand is commonly known as Dry Lining Insulation or Internal Wall Insulation. Sheets of plasterboard have insulation of polystyrene or polyurethane foam glued to them.
There are different types of boards available depending on the requirement. There are disadvantages of the installation of this system that the client should be aware of. All works to be carried out by ourselves will be identified and explained before any works commence.
