Internal Wall Insulation

Discover the benefits of cavity wall insulation for your home, from increased comfort to a lower carbon footprint.

How can internal wall insulation help?

Reduce energy bills with insulation.

Internal insulation reduces the amount of heat lost through walls, keeping your home warmer and reducing the need for heating. This translates into lower energy bills and reduced carbon emissions.

Upgrade your home's comfort level.

With better insulation, your home will be more comfortable year-round, with fewer drafts and cold spots.

This can lead to a healthier living environment and better overall well-being.

Boost Home Value with Internal Wall Insulation.

Internal wall insulation can be a cost-effective way to add value to your home.

It can increase your home's energy efficiency rating, making it more attractive to buyers and potentially increasing its resale value.

Prevent damp using internal wall insulation.

Internal wall insulation is designed to provide a barrier against heat loss through walls by filling the gap between the inner and outer layers of brick or block with insulating material.

This can help to prevent heat from escaping from your home and reduce the risk of dampness caused by cold spots on walls.

Reduce your carbon footprint.

Internal wall insulation helps to reduce the amount of energy required to heat your home, which in turn can lead to lower carbon emissions.

By improving your home's energy efficiency with insulation, you can do your part to reduce your environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future.

The Installation Process

Internal wall insulation can be installed in three main ways.

Insulation Boards

Insulation boards are quick and easy to install and can provide a high level of insulation, making them an excellent choice for those looking to improve their home's energy efficiency.

Battening Walls

Battening the walls is particularly effective for older homes with uneven walls, as it allows the insulation material to be custom-fitted to the wall's shape.

Stud Wall

Building a stud wall involves constructing a new wall a short distance away from the existing wall and filling the cavity between them with insulation material.

How much does internal wall insulation cost, and can I get financial assistance?

The cost of internal wall insulation can vary depending on factors such as the size of the building and the type of insulation material used.

One such program is the Energy Company Obligation (ECO) scheme, which provides funding for energy efficiency measures, including internal wall insulation, to households in England, Scotland, and Wales.

Under ECO4, households receiving certain means-tested benefits may be eligible for free or heavily subsidised insulation measures, including internal wall insulation.

Does internal wall insulation cause damp?

Internal wall insulation can cause damp if not installed properly or with the wrong materials. Insulation moves the dew point closer to the internal wall surface, increasing the risk of moisture absorption and damp patches.

A vapour control layer is typically used to prevent damp penetration, and professional installers can help minimise damp risk.

How much can I save on energy bills with internal wall insulation?

The amount of money you can save on energy bills with internal wall insulation will depend on factors such as the size of the building and the level of insulation already in place. On average, homeowners can save up to £930 per year on energy bills.

How long does it take to install internal wall insulation?

The time required to install internal wall insulation can vary depending on factors such as the size of your home, the type of insulation you choose, and the method of installation.

It's important to work with a professional installer who can provide a realistic estimate based on your specific needs and circumstances.

How do I know if my walls are suitable for internal wall insulation?

Whether your walls are suitable for internal wall insulation will depend on several factors, such as the type of walls you have, their condition, and any existing insulation.

In general, internal wall insulation is most suitable for homes built before the 1930s with solid walls, which are walls without a cavity between them.
