I really like the angled windows. Does it also help reduce the glare factor in the room?

Nestled in the heart of Co. Sligo is a beautiful Luxury Country House called ‘Coopershill’. Home to the ‘O Hara family now for over 8 generations, this beautiful magestic house has been a home to many family members, and is now a haven for a magical visit by lots of people from all over the world. Simon O’Hara is the current owner, and he contacted our company ‘SheepWool Insulation’ after meeting us at trade show and then doing a little more research into our product on our website. The attic at Coopershill needed to be ‘re-insulated’ and Simon knew he wanted a product that would not only be a fantastic insulation quality material but he wanted an insulation product that would be natural, kind to the building and let it breathe - after all, it had stood the test of time since 1774 and he wanted to protect surrounding timbers and let it continue to breathe for another 1,774 years!! We explained that by using our 100% Pure SheepWool Insulation, Simon would have the reassurance of knowing that once installed, he would NEVER have to worry about his attic insulation requirements again, i.e. because it is 100% pure Sheepwool, it will last and last, as there is nothing in it to break down. Before removing the old insulation Simon measured up the area and discovered that most of the joists were not standard widths, some were 380mm wide, some 300mm wide and some 570mm wide! We explained that our insulation rolls can be very easily cut either with a roller cutter or Stanley knife, so Simon opted to ‘hire’ a roller cutter hoping to ease the task a little. ‘Comfort’ insulation rolls were used to insulate this attic space as these have a high insulation value and are ideal for the attic floor area. Simon wanted to lay 100mm between joists so the 4m length rolls were used, he also decided to opt for the 570mm wide product so that the team could easily ‘cut’ to fit without any waste. Simon then wanted to ensure that any heat generated in the House would stay in the house and not escape into the attic so they then also put another ‘cross lap’ layer across the joists and for this purpose they also used ‘Comfort’ rolls and he went for the 150mm product here. Again they opted for the 570mm wide product. Simons team completed the job in really quick time as the product was so simple an easy to use., and as Simon was on site throughout, I asked him what he and the guys thought of the product, and if it met with his personal expectations.., his comments are here : ‘The wool was wonderful to work with and none of the irritation of artificial insulation. What interested us particularly is: It is environmentally friendly which is a fit with our ethos. Long Lasting (in a house this size,I dont’ ever want to have to do a job twice!) Its ability to absorb and release moisture. This house is built with mortar which also allows moisture to pass through it. Artificial insulation can create a permanent moisture barrier which can lead to condensation and then mould and rot. It is fire retardant. It was bought from an Irish Company who were a pleasure to deal with. Most importantly of all, the house is warmer and holds its heat far better!! Thank you Simon for those comments and I’m glad that you all found it so nice to work with. You have done the work now so sit back and relax in the knowledge that our 100% pure SheepWool Insulation will take over from here and continue to work for years and years now and keep this beautiful house cosy and healthy.

The Real-World Locations That Inspired Star Wars Planets
Q
Comments (0)
Since its inception in 1977, Star Wars has captivated audiences with its epic space opera saga set in a galaxy far, far away. George Lucas, the creator of the franchise, drew inspiration from a multitude of sources, including various real-world locations, to bring the fantastical planets of the Star Wars universe to life. From desert landscapes to lush forests and futuristic cities, these real-world locations served as a foundation for the iconic planets we have come to know and love. Let's take a journey through some of the real-world locations that inspired Star Wars planets. Tatooine - Matmata, Tunisia Tatooine, the home planet of Luke Skywalker, is one of the most recognizable locations in the Star Wars universe. Its iconic twin sunsets and sandy dunes create an otherworldly atmosphere. To bring Tatooine to life, George Lucas found inspiration in the small desert village of Matmata, located in Tunisia. The underground dwellings of the Berber people in Matmata resemble the moisture farm where Luke Skywalker grew up. The unique architecture and arid landscape of Matmata made it the perfect real-world location to depict the desolate yet captivating planet of Tatooine. Hoth - Hardangerjøkulen Glacier, Norway The ice-covered planet of Hoth, featured in "The Empire Strikes Back," is known for its harsh and unforgiving environment. To replicate this icy world, the filmmakers turned to the Hardangerjøkulen Glacier in Norway. The glacier's frozen landscapes and snow-covered mountains provided the ideal setting for the Rebel Alliance's base and the epic battle between the Empire and the Rebel forces. The frigid temperatures and vast expanse of white made the Hardangerjøkulen Glacier a perfect real-world location for the icy planet of Hoth. Endor - Redwood National and State Parks, United States The forest moon of Endor, introduced in "Return of the Jedi," is a lush and vibrant world inhabited by Ewoks and Imperial forces. To capture the enchanting beauty of Endor, the filmmakers turned to the Redwood National and State Parks in California, USA. The towering redwood trees and dense foliage of the park provided the backdrop for the Ewoks' tree villages and the thrilling speeder bike chase. The awe-inspiring majesty of the Redwood National and State Parks made it an ideal real-world location to depict the mystical forest moon of Endor. Naboo - Villa del Balbianello, Italy Naboo, the idyllic homeworld of Padmé Amidala, is known for its stunning landscapes and elegant architecture. To bring Naboo to life, George Lucas found inspiration in the Villa del Balbianello, located on Lake Como in Italy. The villa's picturesque gardens, serene lake views, and grand structures perfectly encapsulate the regal and refined aesthetic of Naboo. The Villa del Balbianello's beauty and elegance made it an excellent real-world location to depict the graceful planet of Naboo. Coruscant - Shanghai, China Coruscant, the bustling capital of the Galactic Republic, is a planet completely covered by a cityscape. To create the sense of a vibrant and densely populated metropolis, George Lucas drew inspiration from the city of Shanghai in China. Shanghai's futuristic skyline, filled with towering skyscrapers and illuminated streets, served as the basis for Coruscant's urban sprawl. The dynamic and cosmopolitan atmosphere of Shanghai made it an ideal real-world location to represent the bustling planet of Coruscant. These are just a few examples of the real-world locations that inspired the iconic planets in the Star Wars universe. George Lucas's ability to draw inspiration from various corners of our own world and translate them into the fantastical settings of Star Wars is a testament to his creativity and vision. Whether it's the arid deserts of Tunisia, the icy glaciers of Norway, or the majestic forests of California, these real-world locations have left an indelible mark on the Star Wars franchise, making the galaxy far, far away feel both familiar and extraordinary. In conclusion, the real-world locations that inspired Star Wars planets have played a vital role in bringing the fictional universe to life. From the barren deserts of Tatooine to the icy landscapes of Hoth and the vibrant forests of Endor, each of these locations has contributed to the rich tapestry of the Star Wars saga. George Lucas's ability to find inspiration in the world around him and translate it into his imaginative creations has made the Star Wars universe a beloved and timeless franchise for fans around the globe. May the Force continue to guide us on our journey through these incredible real-world locations and the galaxies they inspired.
