Most people think of attic conversions as an extra room. But at The Irish Attic Company, we think of them as living spaces—just as comfortable, cosy, and functional as any other room in your home.
And making that happen? It comes down to thoughtful insulation, smart heating, and a design that puts your comfort first.
Here’s how we create attics that don’t just look stunning, but feel like home.
Why Comfort Is Non-Negotiable in an Attic
Attics are naturally trickier to regulate:
- Hot in the summer, cold in the winter
- Odd-shaped ceilings and tight eaves
- Limited natural airflow
Without the right design, it’s easy to end up with a space that’s too stuffy, too drafty—or just not usable year-round.
Our Secret Sauce: High-Performance Insulation
We go beyond standard insulation to ensure your attic stays warm in winter and cool in summer. Our approach includes:
- Rigid insulation boards with high thermal ratings
- Multi-layer foil insulation to reflect radiant heat
- Proper ventilation pathways to prevent condensation
We tailor every insulation package based on roof pitch, ceiling type, and intended use.
Keeping It Toasty (Even in January)
A comfortable attic needs the right heating setup. We use:
- Slimline radiators that fit neatly under eaves
- Underfloor heating for high-end or ensuite spaces
- Smart thermostats that let you control attic temperature independently
Want a warm reading nook? We’ll build it in. Cold floors? We’ll solve them before you even notice.
Light = Warmth + Mood
Comfort isn’t just about temperature—it’s about ambience. We enhance your attic’s feel with:
- Skylights and dormers to flood in natural light
- LED lighting plans with dimmable and zoned options
- Warm paint tones and textures for a cosy effect

Airflow & Ventilation: Often Forgotten, Always Essential
Stuffy, musty attics? Not on our watch.
We include proper airflow systems that:
- Allow hot air to escape naturally
- Prevent mould and moisture
- Keep air fresh even when windows are shut
This is especially important if your attic is used as a bedroom, office, or playroom.
How Our Approach Is Different
Many contractors treat attics like afterthoughts. We don’t. Every project includes:
- Comfort-first planning from day one
- Custom ventilation and insulation calculations
- Finishes chosen for feel, not just looks
And because we’re attic specialists, we know how to make comfort work in even the trickiest spaces.
