Why Retrofit Your Traditional Home with Glenwood Studios?
Traditional homes offer unmatched charm and character, but they often struggle with modern energy efficiency. Choosing the right materials is critical—using modern, non-breathable materials in traditional buildings can lead to bigger issues like dampness, mold, and structural damage over time. Glenwood Studios uses only the most suitable natural, breathable materials that protect your home’s unique structure, improving its BER rating without compromising its heritage
Our Approach to Energy-Efficient Retrofits
Comprehensive Assessment
Our certified assessors evaluate your home’s energy performance and identify areas for improvement. We ensure that every upgrade aligns with SEAI standards and avoids modern materials that could harm your home’s traditional structure over time
Eco-Friendly, Breathable Materials
Traditional homes require natural, breathable materials to prevent dampness and maintain structural integrity. We use carefully selected products like mineral wool, lime-based insulating plasters, cork, and hemp, all of which allow your home to ‘breathe,’ avoiding trapped moisture and future problems
Expert Installation by Trusted Professionals
Our team specializes in sustainable retrofitting, using only the methods and materials proven to work for traditional homes, ensuring energy efficiency without compromising the building’s original features
Why You Can't Use Modern Insulation Materials
Modern building materials may seem effective, but they often trap moisture within the walls of traditional homes, leading to issues like damp, mold growth, and even structural damage over time. If you’re investing in energy efficiency, ensure you’re using materials specifically designed for your home’s structure. Glenwood Studios specializes in natural, breathable solutions that enhance your home’s comfort and efficiency without the risks of modern materials
