What is Internal Wall Insulation?

There are two main types of Internal Wall Insulation. Insulation boards are either fixed to the walls or a timber frame can be constructed with an insulating material placed between the timber.

Stud walls are stronger than insulation boards and can easily hold the weight of shelving, cupboards, etc. but they tend to be thicker than insulation boards. Both options will require the removal and replacement of fittings such as light switches, skirting boards, etc.

The choice of technique will depend upon how your property is constructed. Internal Wall Insulation installers will be able to advise which solution is best.

How much can Internal Wall Insulation save?

Having Internal Wall Insulation professionally installed can reduce the amount of heat being lost in the property by up to 45%. This could result in energy bill savings of up to £270 per year in a typical 3 bedroom semi-detached property, according to the Energy Saving Trust.

How can EnergyLink help?

Once you have completed our application form, we will check to ensure that the property is likely to be suitable before allocating to an approved local insulation installer. They will then telephone you to arrange a free, no-obligation survey. If the property is suitable and you qualify for a grant, the work will be arranged.
