Grants

MaPrimeRénov' in 2026: who can benefit?

22 October 2026 · 4 min read

MaPrimeRénov' remains the state's flagship grant for energy renovation. Its amount depends on two main criteria: your household's income category (represented by the colours blue, yellow, purple and pink) and the nature of the work carried out by an RGE-certified professional.

In practice, the more modest your household and the more efficient the measure, the higher the grant. Higher-income households are, as a rule, excluded from MaPrimeRénov' for individual measures, but can still access CEE bonuses and the eco-PTZ.

Good to know: the property must, in most cases, be over 15 years old for insulation and heating work. A prior audit helps secure your application.

Insulation

Converted or not: which loft insulation should you choose?

8 September 2026 · 3 min read

The roof is the main source of heat loss in a house: up to 30 % of the heat escapes through it. Insulating your loft is therefore often the most cost-effective measure.

For an unconverted (non-habitable) loft, blowing in loose-fill insulation (mineral wool, cellulose wadding, etc.) is quick and economical. For a converted loft, panels or wools laid under the rafters are preferred, sometimes supplemented by wall insulation.

Our advice: don't neglect airtightness. High-performance insulation that is poorly fitted loses much of its effectiveness. An RGE company will know how to treat the tricky points.
Windows & doors

Replacing your windows: double or triple glazing?

12 August 2026 · 3 min read

Old single-glazed windows are a major source of draughts and heat loss. Reinforced double glazing (VIR) is today the best value for money for most homes.

Triple glazing is mainly justified for passive houses or north-facing façades. In all cases, the quality of the fitting and the treatment of thermal bridges often matter as much as the glazing itself.

To check: window replacement qualifies for MaPrimeRénov' and CEE bonuses, provided the new windows reach a minimum performance level.
Comfort

Renovating your bathroom without getting it wrong

17 July 2026 · 4 min read

A bathroom is renovated for the long term: anticipating use, maintenance and humidity is as important as choosing the colours.

Three key points: effective ventilation (MVHR) to prevent mould, water-resistant materials (shower tray, tiling, suitable joints) and well-thought-out lighting, soft and functional.

On the budget side, plumbing and electrical work often weigh more than the aesthetics: a quote detailed by trade will help you avoid nasty surprises.
