CLOSE YOUR EYES AND MAKE
A WISH
Steeped in history,
including a castle and a
background that dates
back to 1181,
Leighlinbridge is as
perfect a place to live
as you’ll find anywhere
in the country.
Conveniently located off
the N9 and centrally
located between Carlow
and Kilkenny, it is as
picturesque as it is rich
in amenities. Located on
the Barrow Way, one of
the area’s most popular
walking routes, it also
offers opportunities for
hiking in the nearby
Blackstairs Mountains,
excellent fishing and
stunning bird watching.
Cabin cruisers are also
available at the village
marina and there is a
wealth of fine golf
courses just a stone’s
throw away.
But as well as the beauty
of its surroundings,
Leighlinbridge also
measures up as a
fantastic place to enjoy
our daily life with a
comprehensive range of
amenities from
crèches, schools
and churches, through
entertainment, relaxation
and recreation, to
restaurants, bars, hotels
and shopping. And, just
an hour from Dublin, it
is eminently commutable
and thus, a real
alternative to the grind
of the over-crowded city
life.
WE’RE BUILDING YOUR
FUTURE
Founded in 1939 and based
in Carlow, the Gillespie
Group is a local
development group that
truly understands the
locality. Building to
suit the surroundings is
a byword to us, equal
only in importance to
quality.
Building locally for so
long, we have developed
an instinct for what
people want and this has
led us to the development
of Friar’s Lough as an
exclusive development of
prestige homes geared
towards the second-time
buyer in search of a
finer quality of life. We
achieve this through a
unique combination of
individually designed and
larger homes built in
smaller numbers by
thoughtful
landscaping.It’s
certainly the way forward
for us.
SPECIFICATIONS – FUTURE
PROOF HOMES
The home is one of the
largest users of energy
in Ireland. By being
energy aware at home you
can save money, increase
the comfort of your home
and also help to combat
climate change. Friar’s
Lough has been specially
designed and built with
this in mind.By ensuring
that building materials
and fittings such as
insulation and windows
are of the highest
quality and durability,
the Gillespie Group are
providing energy
efficient homes that make
less impact on the
environment, saving both
energy and cost. This is
the first development to
offer high quality energy
efficient homes to the
Carlow market.

SPECIFICATION –
INFORMATION
Insulation:
It is well documented
that better thermal
insulation is a good
means of tackling the
issue of global warming
by reducing the energy
used in heating and the
burning of fossil fuels.
Kingspan specialise in
the solution of
insulation problems and
offer the most
comprehensive range of
products available from
any UK or Irish
manufacturer. Kingspan
products are amongst the
most thermally efficient
and technically advanced
insulation products
available.www.kingspan.ie
Slate Roof:
ThrutonePlus &
ThrutonePlus Relief
Slates. Made in Ireland
for the local climate,
the three-point fixing
system allows for an
extremely secure roof in
the changeable and often
severe Irish climate.
Structural
guaranteeThrutonePlus
slates carry a 30 year
structural guarantee from
the date of manufacture.
Thrutone ColourisationThe
Thrutone colourisation
system is a multi-stage
process, incorporating
water-based coatings and
ensuring a highly durable
surface finish. Tegral

CONCRETE:
With concrete, the most
widely used construction
material in the world
today, designers can
unite function and beauty
to form dramatic
statements that can be
enjoyed for many
years.Consideration for
the environment is
crucial in today’s
society, and so the focus
these days is on
sustainability and the
reuse of materials. Over
the years it has proved
to be a strong and
versatile material,
providing durability,
insulation and small need
for maintenance.
www.concrete.ie
POROTON:
Poroton is the industry
name for a terracotta
(fired clay) block or
jumbo brick manufactured
to a high degree of
accuracy. These blocks
are formed with a
cellular structure that
reduce the material in
the block (and thus the
weight), whilst
maintaining adequate
strength and increasing
the thermal resistance of
the block.The FBT Poroton
Block offers outstanding
insulation in a
single-leaf exterior
wall, without the need
for labour intensive and
expensive secondary
insulation.www.fbt.ie
HEAT PUMP:
A pump will harness the
energy provided by the
rain and the sun. They
are unique in terms of
heat demand control.
There is no on/off
switching. Electronic
speed control of the
compressor regulates the
heat demand.
The use of the pump
means:
• Near independence for
the future from oil, gas,
solid fuel charges.
• 70-80% of heat energy
is free from the sun.
• No maintenance or
service charges as with
conventional heating
systems.
• Better for the
environment.
• No tanks/bins/bunkers
to hide or maintain.
• A simple, reliable,
well proven technology.
• Low running costs. High
efficiency.
HEATING:
The HeatLink hydronic
radiant floor heating
system eliminates chilly
drafts – even the hard
surfaces of your home
feel warm to the touch.
The system also allows
great flexibility when it
comes to furniture
arrangement as with
radiant floor heating,
furniture can go anywhere
because there are no
grills or radiators. It’s
quiet too there are no
noisy fans or radiator
expansion noises to
contend with, just quiet
comfort.
The system delivers heat
where it’s needed, with
little waste. There are
no wide temperature
variations that you can
experience with forced
air or radiator systems.
A thermostat can be put
in every room of the
house, and unoccupied
rooms can be set back to
save
energy.www.heatlink.ca/ie
