Internal Wall Insulation

What is Internal Wall Insulation?

Internal Wall Insulation involves adding a layer of thermal material to the inside surface of external walls. It’s particularly suitable for:

• Period Properties: Many older Lancashire homes built before the 1920s don’t have cavity walls.
  
• Listed Buildings: When external insulation isn’t permitted due to heritage restrictions.
  
• Design-Sensitive Homes: Where homeowners prefer not to alter the exterior look of their property.
  

Materials Commonly Used:

• Rigid Insulation Boards: Slim, space-saving panels offering high thermal performance.
  
• Timber-Frame Panels: Effective for retrofitting older Lancashire homes.
  
• Insulated Plasterboard: A practical option combining wall finishing with insulation.
  

These solutions are installed neatly and finished with plaster or paint, blending seamlessly into your home’s interior.
