As we've expanded over the years, we've delved into the area of energy upgrades construction, our journey has been marked by remarkable growth and diversification. Today, we're excited to introduce our specialised division, Metro Insulations, which focuses on cavity wall insulation, external wall insulation and attic insulation serving both residential and commercial structures. Based in Tipperary, serving customers across Munster and Nationwide.
Cavity wall insulation is a crucial aspect of our offerings, enhancing energy efficiency and comfort in buildings. With our expertise in this area, we're poised to make structures more sustainable and cost-effective. Furthermore, our proficiency in external wall insulation provides an additional layer of thermal performance and aesthetics, turning structures into energy-efficient showcases.
Our highly trained and experienced staff instil confidence in clients, knowing their projects are in the hands of a market-leading contractor.
Cavity wall insulation is a vital energy-efficient solution for homes. It involves filling the gap between inner and outer walls with insulating material to reduce heat loss and improve thermal performance.
We use a graphite bonded bead Cavity Wall Insulation for new builds, SEAI projects, residential and commercial work.
Cavity Wall Insulation is an expanded polystyrene material which is injected in bead form with a binding agent into masonry cavity walls. The bonding agent is used to provide long-term stability to the insulant. The graphite bonded bead Cavity Wall Insulation System can be installed using a compressed air delivery system.
Before commencing work the installing operative team that the property has been correctly surveyed and is suitable for the system.
Installation Procedure1. Once our installers have arrived at site, they will survey the house in detail & outline where our drill patterns are going on the outer leaf of the external walls.
2. This system is installed using a compressed air system approved and notified to NSAI Agrément.
3. Metro provides all necessary hoses, drilling tools equipment and materials for making good the walls after the installation of the Cavity Wall Insulation System.
4. The product is injected into the cavity (having determined the correct bead/bonding agent ratio by test) through a flexible pipe fitted with a Unidirectional or Directional Nozzle.
5. The material packs to a uniform density in the cavity. Holes beneath ground-floor windows are injected first and filling then continues upwards until a complete fill has been achieved.
6. After injection, the wall is made good to match the existing finish as closely as possible using mortar or similar waterproofing mix.
Why choose this sytem?A cost-effective system where the payback period is shorter than other methods, in SEAI Work the grants available can cover up to 50% of the costs in most cases.
Most jobs are completed in maximum two days.
High level thermal performance available & suitable for both commercial & residential construction.
Zero waste left on site post installation.
External wall insulation is a highly effective method for improving a building's energy efficiency and thermal comfort. It involves adding insulation material to the exterior walls and then covering it with a protective finish. This not only enhances the building's appearance but also reduces heat loss and energy consumption.
Benefits of External Wall Insulation:
Attic insulation is the most practical and efficient method for insulating your ceiling and improving energy efficiency in your home.
Investing in attic insulation not only improves your home's energy efficiency but also provides long-term savings on your heating bills.
