If your home feels cold even with the heating on, or if your energy bills keep rising, it might be time to consider an insulation upgrade. Internal wall insulation is a practical and cost-effective way to improve thermal comfort without altering your home’s exterior appearance.
What Is Internal Wall Insulation?
Internal insulation involves adding a thermal barrier to the inside of external walls. This prevents heat from escaping, helping to maintain a steady temperature indoors. It’s ideal for homes where external wall insulation isn’t an option due to planning restrictions or aesthetics.
Benefits of Internal Insulation
- Energy Savings: Retains warmth, reducing heating costs.
- Quick Installation: Can be done room-by-room for minimal disruption.
- Preserves Appearance: Keeps the outside of the building unchanged.
- Improved Comfort: Creates a more stable and comfortable indoor climate.
How Is It Installed?
The process usually involves attaching insulation boards or batts to the inside surface of external walls. These are then covered with plasterboard, ready for painting or decorating. In most cases, the job can be completed within a few days per room.
Is It Right for Your Property?
This solution is especially useful in solid wall homes built before 1920, which typically lack cavity insulation. It’s also helpful in flats or terraced houses where exterior alterations may not be permitted.
Tips to Maximise Efficiency
- Choose breathable insulation to avoid moisture build-up
- Combine with draught-proofing for added savings
- Work with professionals to ensure proper installation
