Building Fabric Grant for Business
How well your building retains heat directly impacts your fuel costs. We offer a grant of up to 30% for a range of wall and roof fabric upgrades.
The importance of good fabric
Fabric describes the materials that make up a building's exterior. This includes walls, floor, roof and glazing. Buildings of a certain age can reduce heat loss by upgrading their fabric. Experience a comfortable building using less energy, while reducing your running costs and carbon footprint.
Fabric is also important to consider when replacing a boiler with a heat pump. Heat pumps run more efficiently in well insulated buildings.
Grant value
Grants of up to €120,000 are available. The exact grant value will be based on your existing fabric type, overall area of fabric works and your choice of fabric upgrade. Grants cover roof and wall upgrades only.
