Attic Insulation is the first protocal.

A house on average can lose up to 20-30% of its heat through the roof, if it has not been properly insulated. Not only does that increase the amount you spend on heating but as a result you’re doing more harm to the environment by increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

The most cost effective of any energy efficiency upgrade made to a house is to insulate the attic, especially considering the potential cost savings that can be achieved on the monthly heating bills.

If there is not enough insulation in your roof, you may still be losing heat especially if the insulation is damaged or incorrectly installed.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INSULATING YOUR ATTIC?

Reduction in Utility Bills

Attic Insulation is a safe shielding process requiring polyethene or cellulose foam, plastic, or mineral wool. Considering our climate here in Ireland which requires heating throughout most of the year and could end up spending a lot of money ensuring our homes are kept warm and free from damp. Making sure our homes are properly insulated, we improve on the comfort levels and reduce the expenditure on heating bills

Safer Home Structure

Insulating your attic can prevent gradual damage to your home, caused by heat and moisture. It prevents water vapor from seeping in and eroding your walls. Insulating your attic can prevent mould that thrives in moist, cool areas. Insulation stops these problems from occurring by mitigating the effects of condensation.

Better indoor comfort

Our climate here in Ireland is so unpredictable, the temperatures can fluctuate quickly which could lead to future problems. A temperature difference of a couple of degrees between floors and rooms in your home is a sure sign that your home has too little insulation. Adding insulation is a great way to ensure comfort at night and in the early morning when temperatures are at their lowest.

Materials Used

1

Fiberglass material is made of recycled glass fragments and pure sand. You can purchase this material in blankets or sheets.

2

Cellulose insulation can be used in an enclosed wall, open new wall, and unfinished attic floors. It is perfect to use in both the new and old house.

3

Rock Wool is made out of stone and is manufactured by spinning or drawing fibers from molten materials to create insulation. You can use rock wool insulation for walls, floors, ceilings, attics, and crawlspaces.
