Local Housing Stock

Laytown-Bettystown property profiles

Meath has a mix of newer residential developments in commuter towns and older, traditional rural dwellings, including stone-walled cottages and early 20th-century concrete block houses. Older solid-wall properties suffer from high heat loss and dampness. Implementing an external wall insulation system wraps these homes in a high-performance thermal blanket, protecting the original masonry and converting cold, damp structures into warm, dry homes.
