Internal Wall Insulation

What is Internal Wall Insulation?

Internal wall insulation is essentially insulation which is applied to the inner face of external walls of a building.

It’s used to insulate solid wall properties, positioned on the inside walls of your home, creating a thermal barrier between the inside of your home and the outdoor, dramatically reducing heat loss.

Internal wall insulation is a cost-effective solution which significantly improves the thermal efficiency of your home, while simultaneously reducing energy bills and  reducing carbon emissions.

Building a stud wall filled with insulation material such as mineral wool fibre, is often a more sustainable option to the alternative external wall insulation.

Internal Wall Insulation Benefits

Although most homes will already have the necessary insulation to comply with building regulations, more and more people are getting their interior walls insulated in their homes, and there are plenty of reasons why.

• Reducing bills – An astonishing amount of heat loss occurs through insufficiently insulated walls. In fact as much as 35%. Installing a thermal layer inside the home can significantly reduce your energy bills. It means you don’t need to use the central heating as heat stays in rather than escapes.
• Sound – Insulating your interior walls can also be very beneficial for reducing the amount of sound transferring between rooms.
• Reduce heat loss – One way you can significantly reduce heat loss within your home is to install insulation within its internal property walls.
• Affordable – Another bonus to internal wall insulation is that it’s affordable. Although it costs more than cavity wall insulation, it’s usually cheaper than external insulation.
