Dublin 6 · The area
Why retrofitting and insulation in Dublin 6 are a familiar brief.
Dublin 6's Victorian and Edwardian red-brick terraces carry solid 9-inch brick construction throughout, with the heavy ACA-and-protected-structure context that constrains external wall insulation to rear elevations only (and often not even there given the public visibility of the rear from neighbouring streets). The move is internal wall insulation on the external walls (carefully detailed to manage condensation risk and protect original cornicing, skirting and picture rails), attic-insulation top-up, airtightness detailing at the wall-ceiling junction, and where possible floor insulation pulled in from above during a floor strip-out. Heat-recovery ventilation features in larger projects where ductwork can be coordinated within the period ceiling depths. SEAI grant eligibility varies; we coordinate the BER assessor on projects that go for grant funding.
Retrofitting & Insulation · How we run it
Retrofitting & Insulation in Dublin 6, the way it should be done.
Retrofitting an Irish home is where craftsmanship and building science meet. Marcin holds certification from Engineers Ireland in Retrofitting and Energy Efficiency, has completed advanced retrofit skills training at Mount Lucas National Construction Training Campus, and is a certified Baumit installer for external wall insulation systems.
Our retrofit work covers the full envelope: external wall insulation systems applied and rendered correctly so the detailing at reveals, eaves and sills is right; internal wall insulation where EWI is not practical (terraced fronts, protected facades); attic insulation upgrades to current spec; airtightness membranes detailed and tested; and heat-recovery ventilation specified to keep the air fresh in the airtight envelope.
For full-home retrofits we coordinate the BER assessment, the works package and the certification so the project is properly graded and grant-eligible where applicable.
The work in Dublin 6 runs to the same specification we apply everywhere across Dublin and Leinster. Materials, sub-trade coordination, planning context and final certification are all managed from one studio. If your project is on the dublin side of the city, expect site visits within the working week and same-day responses on WhatsApp.
