What Is Internal Wall Insulation?

Internal wall insulation is like putting on a warm jacket from the inside of your house! Instead of adding insulation to exterior walls, it involves attaching insulating materials directly to the inner surfaces of your external walls. This creates a barrier that traps heat inside, making your home more comfortable and energy-efficient. While it can slightly reduce room size and involve some redecorating, it’s a great option for older homes with solid walls or when external changes aren’t possible.

Is Internal Wall Insulation Right For You?

Internal wall insulation is primarily suitable for properties built with solid walls constructed from brick, stone, or concrete. These walls lack a cavity for cavity wall insulation, making internal insulation the key to improving energy efficiency and warmth. This solid wall insulation is also ideal for situations where maintaining the external appearance is crucial, such as in heritage-listed buildings or areas with strict architectural guidelines.

Unsure If You Have Solid Walls? Here's How To Find Out:

1
Check your Energy Performance Certificate (EPC):
This document, readily available online or with your property deeds, often specifies wall type and insulation presence. A high EPC rating (A-C) might indicate existing insulation.
2
Check your walls brick pattern:
If your home is made of brick, and the bricks have an alternating long-short-long pattern, then the walls are likely to be solid and will require internal wall insulation. If you can see only the long edge of the bricks, like this, then they are almost certainly cavity walls.
3
Measure wall thickness:
If the brickwork is not visible, measuring the thickness of the wall at any entrance or window will help to determine the construction type. A solid brick wall is usually about 220 mm thick, a cavity wall between 270 mm and 300 mm and a solid stone wall as much as 500 mm thick.
4
Property age:
The age of your home can also be a good indicator; if it was built before the late 1920s it is likely to have solid walls.

What Are The Main Steps Involved In Installing Internal Wall Insulation?

1
Preparation
The process begins with a qualified technician inspecting your walls to ensure their suitability for internal insulation. Any minor repairs, such as addressing loose plaster or cracks, will be completed to create a sound foundation for the installation. Additionally, your existing skirting boards will be carefully removed to facilitate the insulation process. These will be reinstalled upon completion.
2
Installation
A grid-like framework will be constructed on your walls using specialized battens. High-performance insulation batts will then be meticulously placed within the framework, ensuring complete coverage and eliminating any gaps. To prevent moisture build-up within the wall cavity, a robust vapor control layer will be applied across the entire wall surface, with all overlaps and junctions meticulously sealed with specialist tape.
3
Finishing Touches
Once the insulation system is in place, plasterboards will be securely fixed to the framework, creating a smooth and even surface. All joints between the plasterboards will be sealed to maintain optimal thermal performance. Following the installation, your skirting boards will be reinstalled with precision, ensuring a seamless finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Internal wall insulation normally takes around three to five working days to install but the time does depend on the size of the house and other factors such as access.

No, you can remain in your home during the upgrade process. Our team will work efficiently and minimise any disturbance to your daily activities.

Providing your property is adequately maintained, the internal wall system is insured to last up to 25 years. However, with optimal care, it holds the potential to last for up to 50 years.

Yes – if your heating is not controlled by a thermostat. However, if you have a thermostat, it will cut out the heating at the same temperature, so you may notice a difference in the room with a thermostat. You should find that the temperature in other parts of your home improves. Your home will heat up quicker than before, and the heat will also be retained in the property for longer once you turn off the heating. This will mean that you are using less fuel to heat your home, therefore saving you money on your utility bills.
