Local Housing Stock
Property profiles in Carrigaline
Carrigaline features a varied housing stock. Homeowners with solid-wall properties (solid brick, concrete block, or stone construction) in Carrigaline cannot pump their cavity walls and will benefit the most from EWI. Cork has a large stock of traditional stone terraced homes in the city and concrete block bungalows throughout the county. These solid wall properties suffer from dampness and heat loss. EWI wraps the building in a continuous thermal coat, eliminating drafts and modernizing the exterior with a premium finish.
Climate Challenges
Weather exposure in Carrigaline
Like much of County Cork, Carrigaline experiences damp winters, frost, and high humidity. Wet masonry conducts heat away from the building envelope. Applying external wall insulation acts as a protective shield, keeping the building fabric dry and warm.
