Discover the benefits of cavity wall insulation for your home, from increased comfort to a lower carbon footprint.
Internal wall insulation can be installed in three main ways.
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 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.
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.

ContactThe 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
