Professional Internal Wall Insulation Services

Internal wall insulation (IWI) is an effective solution for improving the thermal efficiency of your home. By insulating the interior walls of your property, you can significantly reduce heat loss, lower energy bills, and create a more comfortable living environment.

What is Internal Wall Insulation?

Internal wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulating material to the inside of external walls to prevent heat loss. This method is commonly used in older properties with solid walls that lack cavity wall insulation.

Benefits of Internal Wall Insulation

Energy Efficiency

IWI reduces heat loss through walls, helping to keep your home warmer in winter and cooler in summer. This translates to lower energy consumption and reduced heating costs.

Enhanced Comfort

By maintaining a consistent indoor temperature, internal wall insulation creates a more comfortable living environment.

Noise Reduction

Insulating your internal walls can also help dampen external noise, improving privacy and peace within your home.

Improved Property Value

A well-insulated home is more attractive to buyers and tenants, increasing its market value.

Sustainability

Reducing energy usage lowers your carbon footprint, making your home more environmentally friendly.

The Installation Process

Assessment and Preparation

A professional surveyor assesses your property to determine the most suitable type of insulation. Any existing issues, such as damp, are addressed before installation.

Surface Preparation

Walls are cleaned, and surfaces are prepared for the insulation material. This may involve removing existing wall coverings.

Installation of Insulation

The chosen insulation material is applied, whether through adhesive bonding, mechanical fixing, or stud wall construction.

Finishing Touches

Plastering, painting, or reapplying decorative finishes complete the process, restoring the wall’s aesthetic appeal.

Types of Internal Wall Insulation

Insulated Plasterboard

Pre-fitted with insulation, these boards are installed directly onto the wall. They’re ideal for saving space while providing excellent thermal performance.

Stud Wall Systems

This involves constructing a stud frame filled with insulation material, such as mineral wool or rigid foam. It’s effective but may reduce room size slightly.

Flexible Thermal Lining

Thin, flexible materials can be applied to walls to improve insulation. While not as effective as other options, they’re useful in tight spaces.

For a standard property, internal wall insulation typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, depending on the scope of work.

Can I install internal wall insulation myself?
