Internal wall insulation (IWI)—also known as insulated dry lining—is installed against the inside surface of a property’s external walls. It creates an additional thermal layer that helps reduce heat loss, increase internal wall-surface temperatures and improve comfort within the room.
Depending on the property, the system may use insulation-backed plasterboard or insulation fitted within a purpose designed internal framework. Internal wall insulation can be suitable for solid-wall homes, properties without an appropriate cavity, or buildings where changing the external appearance would not be desirable.
A professional assessment is essential before work begins. The existing wall condition, moisture levels, ventilation and construction must be considered to ensure the proposed system is appropriate. Careful detailing is also required around windows, doors, floors, ceilings and adjoining internal walls to reduce cold bridging and manage condensation risk.
Installation can affect skirting boards, sockets, radiators, window reveals and the usable dimensions of the room. These areas should be included within a properly planned installation and finishing programme.
When correctly designed and fitted, internal wall insulation can help create warmer rooms, reduce external wall heat loss and improve the overall energy performance of an Irish home. SEAI wall insulation grants may also be available for eligible properties.
Internal wall insulation requires careful planning around your property’s construction and condition. Before recommending a system, the external walls should be assessed for moisture, defects and suitability for insulated dry lining.
Your consultation will consider the rooms requiring treatment and the potential effect on window reveals, skirting boards, radiators, sockets and usable space. Ventilation, finishing and redecoration requirements will also be discussed.
EcoTech can then provide a tailored recommendation and clear quotation covering the proposed internal wall insulation work.
SEAI internal wall insulation grants may be available for eligible properties, either as an individual upgrade or through a wider One Stop Shop project. Grant approval must be obtained before supported work begins.
Correct installation is essential to the performance of an internal wall insulation system. Particular attention must be given to window reveals, doors, floors, ceilings and adjoining walls to reduce gaps, cold bridging and condensation risk.
EcoTech’s installation process considers insulated-board alignment, secure fixing, junction detailing, electrical fittings, radiators, skirting boards and the required finished surfaces.
Once the work is complete, the internally insulated walls and key junctions are inspected for workmanship, consistency and finish. We will also explain any relevant ventilation, redecoration and aftercare requirements.
This professional approach helps create a reliable thermal layer that can reduce external-wall heat loss and improve comfort within the completed rooms.
