Why Insulate your home?
The two best ways to reduce Heat Loss and the amount of energy a home uses are:
Both types of insulation can have a dramatic effect. A correctly insulated home can reduce fuel bills by as much as €350 per year (depending on your house size) and once it’s in place it lasts a lifetime. Imagine feeling the benefits of a warmer, cosier, more comfortable home that costs less to run and is kind to the environment. To achieve this, all we have to do is Think insulation.
In doing so you will drastically reduce the harmful CO2 emissions caused by your home’s energy consumption.
Attic Insulation
Fiberglass attic insulation
Fibreglass insulation is rolled into the attic space between & across the joists, difficult to reach areas can be insulated with blown shredded fibreglass. Cold water pipes and cold water tanks are lagged and sealed. Insulated walkways are installed for safe access from your attic hatch to your water tanks.
300mm fibreglass insulation is the required amount to be installed in your attic area to conform to current building regs.
If you have a very low pitched roof or difficult to reach areas in your attic we can blow shredded fibreglass instead of rolls of fibreglass. An average un-insulated attic area represents 25% of the heat loss of your home. As part of our attic insulation service we will install tank jackets on your water storage tanks, insulate all cold water pipes in your attic area and install insulated floor platforms to gain safe access from your access hatch to your water tanks. If you have an attic pull down stairs we can provide an insulated hood that will greatly reduce heat loss in this area. Grant also available (contact www.seai.ie)
Shannon Insulations can install cavity wall insulation in your home and it’s surprisingly simple and cost effective. In fact, you may be eligible for a Government grant (contact www.sei.ie
Cavity Wall Insulation
Cavity Wall Insulation reduces the risk of condensation, allowing the house to “breathe” naturally. It’s entirely non-combustible and carries a 10 year guarantee. The job is completed in a single day and the only difference you’ll see is the reduced fuel bills and a warmer home. We offer a choice of products for cavity wall insulation and are registered installers with the Irish Agreement Board.
- Aerolite Foam: has the highest U value (retention of heat) and is injected under pressure into the cavity. It has a British Standard and is the only product that can be used with 9′” cavity blocks.
- Walltherm Fiberglass: is an extremely efficient insulation medium. It saves up to 75% of the heat lost through uninsulated walls

Bead insulation
Supernova Silver offers improved insulation performance over conventional insulation.
- In-built infrared reflectors virtually eliminate the effect of heat radiation.
- With a λ value of just 0.033Wm2K, a 0.27 U value is readily achievable when building 85 – 100mm cavities.
- Supernova Silver ensures 100% cavity fill with no wastage. The most cost – effective solution.
