Energy efficient buildings, built better

Greenlion Homes specialise in building concrete buildings for both the residential and commercial markets. We build using Insulating Concrete Forms (ICF) because of the advantages this offers. Our buildings are highly energy-efficient, strong and durable. We provide a total building service from site excavation to render application and roof completion.
Houses
We will build you a home which is energy-efficient, strong & durable.  A home that is healthier to live in, quieter and low maintenance.  We can incorporate all manner of details such as strong rooms, drying rooms, ‘warm’ roofs, archways and curves. Safes can be embedded in the walls to store your valuables.  You decide on size and type, we will build it.

Home Owner’s comment:  “We are living in our house over a year and we are really pleased with it. It is very comfortable to live in as it is warm and quiet.  We have lived in it all over the Winter months with a wood burning stove as our main source of heating; even the sun shining in through the glass of the sun room is able to heat the kitchen! We cannot hear noise unless very, very loud from one floor to the other due to the insulation and the concrete slab.

The other great advantage was how quickly it was built; we were really happy to see it go up at such speed and yet there was no compromise on quality.

We would recommend Greenlion Homes as we found Jim and his team to be very professional and reliable.  They were always available and Jim was on site from early in the morning to late at night when required.  It is great to find someone who will return calls and listen to you when building your home.”

Extensions
We will build you an energy-efficient extension even if your existing building is built in the traditional manner.  ICF is flexible enough to work with any building type.  We will also undertake renovation work with the extension if necessary.

Insulated basements
Our main area of expertise is our ability to build superior, insulated basements both for the residential and commercial markets.  If you are limited in terms of space and want to increase the size of your building, a basement is now a very feasible option.  ICF combined with our expert workmanship can now provide you with a high spec basement; and location is not usually a problem due to the flexibility of our building system.

Insulated ‘Room Outside’

Whether you need a party room, strong room, guest accommodation, office, children’s play room, teenager’s drum kit room or just to get away for some peace and quiet our modular insulated rooms are the answer. They will not only look attractive in your garden and be the talking point among your neighbours but they feel great inside too.  Built to the same high standards of any house the ICF structure will ensure you are warm and comfortable inside without costing a fortune in extra heating bills.  These stand alone modular units can be designed to suit your taste and size requirements and can be built to blend into your garden design.  They are very price competitive when compared to similar structures but you will be amazed at the warmth which makes them great value.  Other advantages are strength of structure, speed of construction, versatility of design and finishes including internal finishes, low sound transmission etc.  Also these units can be added to at a later stage if more space is required, even roof structures can be designed to accommodate a second floor at a later date.  If space is a problem and moving is not an option our insulated ‘Room Outside’ is the answer!

Insulation of existing buildings

If your house or building is already constructed and an I.C.F. build is not an option, you can still improve its’ warmth and energy efficiency.

Greenlion Homes also supply and fit insulation to existing buildings.  We provide the following services in this area:

  1. Roof insulation – both ceiling-level attic insulation and rafter-level attic insulation
  2. Internal dry lining insulation.
  3. External wall insulation.

The external insulation is particularly good as it does not take from your internal space and works well with older buildings.

There are grants available from the Government which cover these areas. Click here for more grants information.

‘Greenlion Homes is a registered contractor under the Home Energy Saving Scheme’.
