Transforming a Victorian Gem: EGL Construction Ltd's Eco-Friendly renovation.

At EGL Construction ltd, we take pride in blending monden sustainablity with timeless architecture. Our latest project showcases the complete renovation of a charming victorian period house, creating a comfortable, eco-friendly family home while preserving its historic character.


Preserving the Past, Building for the Future.

Victorian homes have a unique charm, but many come with challenges - poor insulation, outdated heating systems, and materials that does not support modern energy efficiency. Our team tackled these challenges head-on combining traditional craftmanship with cutting-edge sustainable building solutions.


Breathable and Highly insulated Walls.

To improve energy efficiency without compromising the building's breathablity, we incorporated Steico wood fiber insulation throughout the property. Steice insulation is natural, renewable and highly effective at reducing heat loss while allowing moisture to escape, prevently condensation and protecting the integrity of the orignal structure.

Complementing this, we applied lime plaster internally. Lime plaster is a traditional materials that naturally regulates humidity, enhances indoors air quality, and works harmoniously with the breathable insulation to maintain a healthy, comfortable environment.


Efficient, Sustainable Heating.

A key part of this renovation was installing an air source heat pump, which provides low-carbon, highly efficient heating. by leveraging renewable energy from the air, the heat pump ensures consistent warmth throughout the home while signficantly reducing the property's carbon footprint.


An Eco-Friendly Family Home.

The result is a beautifully renovated Victorian home that combines classic elgance with modern enironmental responsibility. The family who commissioned this project now enjoys:

  • A warm, energy efficient living environment.

  • Improved indoor air quality thanks to breathable walls and lime plaster.

  • Reduced energy costs and a smaller carbon footprint.


This renovation demonstrates EGL Construction Ltd's commitment to sustainable building practices, quality craftmanship, and thoughtful design. By working with Caitriona Casey Architecture on this project and integrating natural materials and renewable technology, we create homes that are both beautiful and responsible for the planet.
