Attic Insulation in Cork City

Cork City: Old Homes, Big Savings

Cork city centre is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, Georgian townhouses, and a growing number of modern apartments. From Shandon to the South Parish, Turner's Cross to Blackpool, these older properties often have the worst insulation — and the most to gain from upgrading.

Cork city terraced homes lose up to 30% of heat through the roof. With terraced houses, you share walls on both sides, so the attic is your single biggest heat loss point. SEAI grants make insulation affordable — and the savings on heating are immediate.
