The attic is one of the most critical areas in a home when it comes to effective insulation. Since heat naturally rises, it can easily escape through the ceiling if the attic isn’t properly insulated. Studies estimate that a home can lose 35–40% of its heat through the attic roof.

Many homes in Ireland have only a thin layer of fibreglass insulation in the attic, which is often insufficient to retain heat. As a result, a significant amount of warmth escapes, forcing homeowners to keep the heating on longer to maintain a comfortable indoor temperature.
