Naturheld Wood Fibre Natural Insulation for Traditional and Period Homes in Dublin
Improving the energy performance of historic buildings requires specialist knowledge. We provide expert installation of Naturheld wood fibre natural insulation for traditional single-leaf masonry walls and period houses, including Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian properties.
As a dedicated Naturheld wood fibre insulation contractor in Dublin, we focus on solutions that respect the original structure while delivering excellent thermal comfort and environmental benefits.
✅ Insulation Challenges in Older Buildings
Enhancing the thermal performance of older properties is complex.
Identifying areas and elements within existing buildings where meaningful improvements can be made always comes with challenges.
This is because traditional materials behave very differently from modern construction products, especially when it comes to vapour diffusion, breathability, and moisture management.
Choosing the correct insulation is essential to ensure long-term durability and to avoid trapped moisture or damage to historic fabric.
