Attic insulation cost in Ireland
How much does attic insulation cost in Ireland?
The cost of attic insulation depends on a number of factors:
1. The area that you require to be insulated.
2. The depth of insulation required.
3. How easy the attic or loft is to access.
4. If it's just for insulation or for an attic or loft conversion.
5. The type of insulation that you use.
Do I need a 50mm air gap between the insulation and the roofing felt?
Yes you do unless your roof is counter battened.
Irish building regulations require a 50mm air gap to allow the structure to 'breathe'. This allows water vapour to escape to the outside air preventing the harmful buildup of damp and mold.
Are you able to safely create the required 50mm air gap?
Yes we have developed a unique breathable vent card system that is rigid and long lasting and meets the highest building standards.
All our contractors have been trained to install the vent cards.
How much does attic insulation cost per meter?
The cost of attic insulation per square meter (m2) will depend once again on the depth, area, use of attic and whether vent cards are required.
Do you use NSAI approved attic insulation?
Yes we do, we use an open cell foam EZero E500 Foam NSAI Cert No. 11/0365.
Are there insulation grants available for attic insulation?
Yes the government via the SEAI has grants for insulation. There is a €400 grant for attic insulation. Ask your contractor for help applying for the grant or visit the SEAI Guide
