Upgrade Your Bungalow
Is your old bungalow feeling colder than a leprechaun’s toes in winter? We’ve all been there. High heating bills and poor insulation can make you feel like you’re living in an igloo. But fear not! External wall insulation is here to save the day. Let’s explore how this can turn your home into the warm, cosy haven you deserve.
What is External Wall Insulation?
External wall insulation adds an insulating layer to your home's exterior walls, reducing heat loss and boosting comfort. We’re talking about materials like expanded polystyrene (EPS), mineral wool, and phenolic boards—fancy stuff that packs a punch!
Benefits of External Wall Insulation
Lower Heating Bills: Keep your home toastier and say goodbye to those jaw-dropping energy bills. Improved Energy Efficiency: Meets modern standards, making your home greener than the Emerald Isle. Enhanced Comfort: Banishes cold spots and draughts, so you can enjoy your tea without shivering.
Increased Property Value: Spruces up your home’s energy performance, making it more appealing. Reduced Dampness: Keeps condensation at bay, so mould won’t be crashing your party.
Why our Bungalows Need It: Actually, most buildings pre-2011 are thermally inefficient and could do with upgrading. The Classic Irish Bungalow would come in at the top of this list. External wall insulation provides a snug layer, making your home warmer and more energy-efficient. It’s like giving your house a big warm hug and its very own facelift.
Cost and Grants
While costs vary, think of it as an investment in comfort and savings. Plus, grants from the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) can help with the expenses. Who doesn’t love a bit of financial luck?
