Deep Retrofit Specialist

Blackstrand Retrofit Ltd offer a service that will address every aspect of your retrofit. From initial home auditing & retrofit design to construction and final hand-over.

Blackstrand Retrofit as a company was setup in order to cater for the growing Retrofit sector. Since opening in 2021, we have been successfully retrofitting homes throughout Ireland mainly through the One Stop Shop scheme with an SEAI registered One Stop Shop Partner.

You can rest easy knowing you only have to deal with one contractor, rather than the headache of sourcing multiple contractors & tradesmen who may not have the Retrofitting experience required.

To take the first step in your Retrofitting journey, contact us today and book your Home Consultation.

The Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) offers grants for deep retrofit projects through the One Stop Shop Service.

External Wall Insulation

External wall insulation (EWI) is a method of insulating the outer walls of a building to improve its energy efficiency and thermal performance. It involves applying a layer of insulation material to the external surface of the existing walls, followed by protective layers such as render or cladding

Cavity Wall Insulation

Cavity wall insulation is a method used to improve the thermal efficiency of a building by filling the empty space or "cavity" between the inner and outer layers of external walls with an insulating material. This type of insulation is commonly applied in buildings with a cavity wall construction, which consists of two parallel masonry walls (such as brick or block) separated by a gap or cavity

Internal Wall Insulation

Internal wall insulation (IWI) is a method of improving the thermal performance of a building by adding insulation to the internal surfaces of external walls. This approach is used when external insulation is not practical or desirable, such as in buildings with architectural or planning constraints. Internal wall insulation is commonly applied to solid walls or in cases where cavity wall insulation is not feasible

Attic Insulation

Attic insulation is a crucial component of a home's thermal envelope, helping to regulate temperature and energy efficiency. The attic is often a significant source of heat loss or gain in a house, depending on the season, making proper insulation essential.

Solar Panels

Solar panels, also known as photovoltaic (PV) panels, are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. They are a key technology in the field of renewable energy and are widely used to generate clean and sustainable electricity.

Windows & Doors

Triple glazed windows and doors are designed with three layers of glass, separated by air or gas-filled spaces, to provide enhanced insulation and energy efficiency compared to traditional double-glazed windows.

Airtightness

Airtightness prevents the uncontrolled flow of air in and out. Achieving airtightness is crucial for energy efficiency, indoor comfort, and the overall performance of a building. It involves sealing the building envelope to minimize air leakage and drafts, thereby reducing the exchange of conditioned indoor air with outdoor air

Air to Water Heatpump

An air-to-water heat pump is a heating system that transfers heat from the outdoor air to a water-based heating system inside a building. This type of heat pump extracts heat from the ambient air and uses it to heat water, which can then be used for heating your home, water, or other heating applications.

Heat Recovery Ventilation

Heat Recovery Ventilation (HRV) is a system that provides controlled ventilation while minimizing heat loss in buildings. It is designed to exchange stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air while recovering the heat from the outgoing air. This process helps improve indoor air quality while simultaneously optimizing energy efficiency.
