Local Housing Stock
Property profiles in Wicklow Town
Wicklow Town features a varied housing stock. Homeowners with solid-wall properties (solid brick, concrete block, or stone construction) in Wicklow Town cannot pump their cavity walls and will benefit the most from EWI. Wicklow features a unique range of properties, from coastal Victorian terraces in Bray to mid-century bungalows and mountain cottages. Many of these homes have solid block or stone walls with high U-values (poor insulation). EWI is particularly effective here as it wraps the external structure, preventing the driving rain from penetrating the walls and keeping the interior warm and dry.
Climate Challenges
Weather exposure in Wicklow Town
Like much of County Wicklow, Wicklow Town 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.
