The Problem

Why Irish Homes Suffer from Condensation

Cold internal walls, solid construction and Ireland's damp climate create the perfect conditions for condensation and mould.

Traditional solutions like drylining or insulated boards trap moisture, reduce room space and often don't solve the root issue.

A Smarter Alternative to Drylining

A Smarter Alternative to Drylining

VIPEQ trowel-applied cork is applied in a thin layer (approx. 3–6mm), creating a breathable thermal barrier that increases wall surface temperature and reduces condensation risk.

No need to remove skirting boards, window boards or radiators — making it ideal for retrofit and older homes.
