Why is insulating your attic so important?
The attic is one of the most important areas of a house to have effective insulation. Heat has a natural tendency to rise and will therefore escape through ceilings if allowed.
How much heat is lost through my attic?
It is estimated that a house can lose 30-35% of its heat through the attic. Most houses in Ireland have a thin layer of fibreglass attic insulation which is not sufficient to retain the heat from below.
Why should I use West Coast Insulation to upgrade my attic?
West Coast Insulation can prevent heat loss by upgrading attic insulation in new and existing houses. Our experienced team can bring all homes up to the highest standard.
What type of insulation do you use to upgrade my attic?
We use Rockwool Rockprime Blown Loft Insulation and Knauf Ecose Mineral Wool. We cover all your attic areas with a 300mm layer of high quality attic insulation. This will prevent the heat from escaping, keeping the house warmer and less drafty.
Will insulating my attic reduce my heating bills?
With a large percentage of the heat escaping, the heating must be kept on longer to maintain a comfortable temperature in the home.
How much savings can I expect from insulating my attic?
A well insulated home can save up to €600 per year by upgrading the insulation.
