For homes with solid walls, internal wall insulation is a highly effective way to reduce heat loss and improve overall energy efficiency. Solid wall properties, which are common in older and traditionally built homes, tend to lose heat more quickly than cavity wall properties, making insulation especially important.
Internal wall insulation works by fixing high-performance insulation boards or stud systems to the inside face of external walls. This creates a thermal barrier that helps keep warmth inside during colder months and reduces overheating in the summer, all without changing the external appearance of your property—ideal for period homes or properties in conservation areas.
Installing internal wall insulation can significantly lower heating costs, improve indoor comfort, and help reduce condensation and cold spots that often lead to damp and mould. It also enhances your home’s EPC rating and supports long-term carbon reduction goals.
While internal wall insulation slightly reduces room size, it delivers long-lasting benefits and is installed to meet current building and ventilation standards to ensure a healthy living environment. Works are typically carried out room by room, allowing disruption to be managed and minimised.
In many cases, internal wall insulation may be fully or partially funded through government-backed schemes, such as ECO funding or the Great British Insulation Scheme (GBIS), for eligible households.
Internal wall insulation is a practical, efficient solution for creating a warmer, more energy-efficient home, particularly where other insulation options are not suitable.
