Attic Insulation

'Patrick O Hanlon Insulation' are attic and loft insulation specialists and offer this service in addition to Wall Insulation. Using only the highest quality thermal insulating products and expert staff, we can fully insulate or top up existing insulation in your roofspace.

Where does the heat go?

Over 25% of heat within the home will escape through a poorly insulated attic. Now is the time to have your roof space inspected and have insulation installed or topped up. As registered contractors under the Home Energy Saving Scheme, you may be eligible for a €250 grant if we install your attic insulation. Click here for more info.

Efficient Attic Insulation will trap rising heat and prevent heat loss through the roof space. Whilst many homes already have attic insulation, it is probably not enough. Additional insulation can be installed in the home quickly and easily by our trained staff to bring your home in line with required standards and save on heating costs every year for the lifetime of the building.

Do I need additional attic insulation?

If your house is over 4 years old it is quite possible that your attic will have fibreglass insulating blanket installed between the joists/rafters. Based on current building regulations and BER Efficiency ratings, this will be insufficient for a number of reasons.

1: Modern insulating materials have a higher thermal performance and therefore better heat retention. Having new insulation installed will in older homes will ensure a more heat efficient home

2: Until recently, insulation blanket was only installed between the joists in your roof space. This leaves the joists exposed and creates a 'cold bridge' where heat can escape from the rooms below and cold air can get in. Heat efficiency can be increased dramatically by installing an additional layer of insulation on top of existing insulation. The additional layer is installed perpendicular to the joists which effectively cancels out the cold bridge.
