How Internal Wall insulation Works
Internal wall insulation is a method of wrapping your home in a fabric to reduce heat loss through the outside walls for solid wall properties.
What are the benefits of Internal Wall Insulation?
Improve the Thermal Efficiency
By installing internal wall insulation to the internal walls of your property you can retain the heat generated from your heating source by creating a thermal barrier on walls that do not have a cavity that can be filled.
Sound Proofing
Internal wall insulation also acts as a soundproofing method by reducing the transmission of sounds through the internal walls.
Lower Energy Costs
By trapping the warm air inside your home and keeping an ambient temperature inside for longer, internal wall insulation will result in lower energy usage saving you money on your energy bills.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is internal wall insulation?
Internal wall insulation refers to the process of insulating the internal walls of a building to improve its thermal performance and energy efficiency. It involves adding insulation material to the interior surface of external walls, which helps to reduce heat loss and improve comfort levels within the property. Internal wall insulation can be a cost-effective solution for properties that cannot have insulation installed externally or where the exterior appearance should be preserved.
Internal wall insulation is an ideal solution for solid brick properties.
What materials are used for internal wall insulation?
Various materials can be used for internal wall insulation, including rigid insulation boards and mineral wool. Rigid insulation boards, such as expanded polystyrene (EPS) or polyurethane foam boards, are often used as they provide good thermal insulation and can be easily fixed to the wall surface. Mineral wool, which is available in batts or rolls, can also be used for internal wall insulation. The choice of insulation material depends on factors such as thermal performance requirements, cost, and suitability for the specific project.
How long does internal wall insulation last?
The lifespan of internal wall insulation can vary depending on factors such as the quality of the installation, the type of insulation material used, and the maintenance of the property. On average, internal wall insulation can last for up to 25 years when installed correctly. However, it is important to regularly inspect the insulation for any signs of damage, wear, or dampness. Maintaining the integrity of the insulation and addressing any issues promptly can help prolong its lifespan.
Can internal wall insulation cause damp?
Internal wall insulation can potentially cause dampness if it is not installed correctly or if there are pre-existing issues with condensation or moisture in the property. It is crucial to ensure appropriate measures are in place to manage moisture, such as adequate ventilation and damp-proofing, before installing internal wall insulation. Proper installation techniques, including vapor barriers and breathable materials, should also be employed to prevent the risk of condensation and damp problems.
How do I know if I need internal wall insulation?
You may consider internal wall insulation if your property experiences significant heat loss through the walls, resulting in high energy bills and a lack of thermal comfort. Signs that indicate the need for internal wall insulation include cold spots on walls, uneven heating, and difficulty maintaining a consistent temperature within the property. Consulting with a professional energy assessor or insulation installer can help assess your property's insulation needs and determine if internal wall insulation is necessary.
Internal Wall Insulation provides an alternative solution to properties that do not meet the cavity wall insulation criteria.
