Energy Efficiency

We are committed to supplying effective and healthy thermal insulation products that will reduce our carbon emissions and ensure a sustainable future for all.

Indoor Air Quality

Our natural products do not contain harmful toxins and they wick moisture to keep relative humidity at a safe level. This reduces risk of disease and allergens.

Our thermal and acoustic insulation products are all breathable, enabling water vapour to pass safely through them ensuring a dry and healthy building fabric.

We only supply products that have been extensively tested in terms of their performance, reliability, sustainability and healthy credentials.

Testimonials

We have been living in our new timber frame house now for a year and we have been very impressed with how warm and cosy it has been over the winter. Even more noticeable was that it wasn't uncomfortably hot last summer during that fantastic heat wave that we had. We feel it was one of the best decisions that we made during the build process to choose your wood fibre insulation so thanks for all your help and advice.

I recently purchased PhoneStar noise insulation panels, just a note to say how fantastic the product is, easily fitted and absolutely effective! Fitted into flat above very noisy pub, brill!

COLIN P

I would just like to express my thanks to you for supplying your "PhoneStar" Product. I had the misfortune of tenants moving into the house next door - 10 months ago, constantly making the most awful noise - which was making my life a misery. I literally felt as if they were living in the same house. I had explored many ways to try to find a resolution to the problem, via my management company and the landlord, but with no success - the tenants just didn't care how much noise they made and ignored requests to keep the noise levels down.

We recently had the pleasure of procuring Lignotrend Timber panels from Acara Concepts. From start to finish they were very professional, knowledgeable and efficient. Our dealings with Acara were mid pandemic, which made absolutely no difference to the quality of their service. We are looking forward to continuing our relationship in the future.

I recently used Acara Concepts as a supplier of Lignotrend acoustic panels. I found their staff to be very professional and very knowledgeable about their products. They provided me with the technical information I required and they were always available to answer any queries that arose during the project. I would have no hesitation recommending them as a valued supplier. I will definitely use their products again in the future.

Great job by Gar Insulation. I had a PhoneStar acoustic insulation system fitted in the master bedroom of my semi-d. I found Ger and his assistant to be both friendly and efficient and they left the place clean and tidy (no small feat for this particular job!!). Most importantly the insulation has massively improved the airborne sound pollution coming from the adjoining house (a lively, young, early rising family) thereby greatly improving my quality of sleep...and life! Well done Ger - thank you!

Libby G

Excellent work recently completed by Acara Concepts. Ger and his team were fantastic, punctual and great to deal with. Excellent work, completed on time & to very high standard, excellent results, very happy with the work. Thanks again.

Dee McG

Yes, I purchased your PhoneStar boards and we installed with the sound bars and Fermacell boards over the top. Significant improvement. Very pleased. Niamh was fantastic and we certainly appreciated her advice and assistance.

Simon D

Very impressed with Gar Insulation. They installed a decoupled & battened wall system with mineral wool, resilient bars, 2 layers PhoneStar acoustic insulation, sound resistant plasterboard & plaster finish all within 2 days, and left the place spotless afterwards. Highly recommended.
