Rolled Loft Insulation

Knauf Ecose Mineral Wool: is a newly developed product which provides the high standard of insulation without the itchiness of conventional fibreglass products. The brown layers of Knauf Mineral Wool are rolled out in the attic space between the joists and over the joists.

Knauf Mineral Wool comes in depths of 200mm, 150mm and 100mm and can be installed at the desirable level. If no insulation exists and more than 200mm is needed, two layers of insulation will be installed.

  • Our technician will examine the attic space and decide on the level of insulation needed. We will usually recommend that the attic insulation be brought up to 300mm or 12 inches. Therefore if 100mm of fibreglass is already in the attic, we will roll over this insulation with a further 200mm.
  • Our technician will roll out one layer (if no insulation already exists) between the timber joists on the floor of the attic. These are tightly fitted in place between the timbers.
  • Another layer of mineral wool is rolled out over the timber joists bringing the level of insulation up to 300mm.
  • Insulating tank jackets and covers are fitted to the water tanks in the attic to protect from freezing in cold conditions and a walkway to the tanks is fitted where necessary. Pipe lagging is also improved to protect the pipes from freezing.
  • Airflex, an ultra-thin, superior quality insulating panel is fixed to the back of the trapdoor to complete the attic insulation. Finally draft proofing is fixed around the attic door to leave the attic free from heating draining drafts and with the highest level of insulation.

Day 5 of the black out after a storm and thanks to our insulation we are warm in the house. We don't even have a stove or fire only candles lit and we are warm. This is the best upgrade investment we've made to our house.

Kudos to these guys. They came out, lifted the roof tiles to 3 roofs with no access and for the first time I saw how bad the insulation was in there (some had no insulation....) They topped up my attic insulation, re-floored and pumped the cavity wall in both my house and garage. Highly recommended this team, great team spirit on site.

We were looking to get our cavity walls insulated and heard about West Coast Insulation from a friend who had their house done in Galway. They had got their attic insulated with Rockwool and walls with ecobead bonded bead insulation and were very pleased. So we gave West Coast Insulation a call and they did a great job and the house is a lot warmer now; saved a fortune on oil, this winter. We would recommend West Coast Insulation to anyone looking to get their attic insulation or cavity wall insulation in the Galway Mayo area. John was very helpful and sorted out the grant paperwork also.
