Why Internal Wall Insulation Matters

If you want a warmer, more energy-efficient home but prefer to keep the exterior unchanged, internal wall insulation(dry lining) is an excellent solution.

At Retrofit Design Ltd, we’ve completed hundreds of internal insulation projects nationwide, helping homeowners reduce heat loss, cut energy bills and create a more comfortable indoor environment, without altering the outside appearance of their property.

What Is Internal Wall Insulation (Dry Lining)?

Internal wall insulation, also known as dry lining, involves fitting insulated plasterboard or rigid insulation panels to the inside of your home’s external walls. These are then finished with plaster to create a smooth, ready-to-paint surface.
It’s ideal for:
  • Solid or older walls without a cavity
  • Homes where external insulation isn’t possible or desirable
  • Improving comfort and thermal performance without external changes

Internal wall insulation can also help reduce noise, prevent dampness and lower heating bills.
