Insulation & energy surveys in Clontarf
Insulation and energy surveys in Clontarf and Marino, from Edwardian seafront red-bricks exposed to wind off Dublin Bay to Marino's terraced cottages and the mock-Tudor semis of Castle Avenue.
Homes in Clontarf
Edwardian red-bricks along the seafront, mock-Tudor semis on Castle Avenue and Vernon Avenue, and Marino's planned terraced housing inland.
The seafront homes take the full force of easterly wind off the bay, so draughts through sash windows, floorboards and chimney breasts are a bigger share of their heat loss than in sheltered areas. Solid 9-inch brick walls and suspended floors are typical. Marino's terraces are smaller and simpler to improve but often still have minimal attic insulation.
Planning and conservation: Marino and several seafront terraces are Architectural Conservation Areas, so internal insulation is usually the route for front walls.
For extensions, carpentry and whole-house retrofits in Clontarf, our parent company MZCC.ie covers the same area.

Insulation in Clontarf: questions
What insulation do homes in Clontarf usually need?
The seafront homes take the full force of easterly wind off the bay, so draughts through sash windows, floorboards and chimney breasts are a bigger share of their heat loss than in sheltered areas. Solid 9-inch brick walls and suspended floors are typical. Marino's terraces are smaller and simpler to improve but often still have minimal attic insulation. A free survey confirms what your own house needs and in what order.
Can I insulate a home in a conservation area in Clontarf?
Marino and several seafront terraces are Architectural Conservation Areas, so internal insulation is usually the route for front walls. Internal insulation, attic and floor insulation and draught-proofing change nothing outside, so they are usually possible even on protected homes.
