With the summer months behind us and the cooler months starting to set in, Galway company West Coast Insulation are recommending homeowners take advantage of the current grant scheme for home insulation.
The scheme allows for a grant of up to €3,250 for cavity wall and attic insulation. Homeowners can contact John Folan from West Coast Insulation for a free quotation for cavity wall and attic insulation. The scheme to install upgraded insulation has increased the grant amounts to €3,250 (detached houses ), €2,550 (semidetached ), €2,050 for mid-terrace and €1,550 for apartments. This covers a large percentage of the overall cost of the work and the works can usually be completed in one working day.
West Coast Insulation will help homeowners with the grant forms and make the process as simple as possible. The current package delivered by West Coast Insulation and supplier Kingspan Eco-Bead makes insulating your home more attractive than ever. With energy costs rising and set to rise further, the cost of the works is likely to pay for itself within a few years and homeowners can enjoy the more comfortable temperature in their homes.
When insulating a house, the company inject EcoBead Platinum Bonded Bead in the cavity walls even when there is existing Aerobord insulation. This significantly improves the U-values and heat retention and also fills in any gaps in the older insulation. They keep the injection holes closer together to ensure the walls are filled 100 per cent and that the bead is packed as tightly as possible. The company install Knauf rolled mineral wool in the attics. John Folan said: “Most attics have some existing fibreglass insulation at around 100mm depth. The problem with fibreglass is that it shrinks over time and needs to be replaced. We install Knauf attic insulation to 300mm, giving the best U-values possible. We also fit the insulating jackets and lids around the tanks, fit the heavy duty 19mm lagging on the pipes and insulate the attic door.”
