Insulating the interior walls of your home is called dry lining. We fit dry-lining warm-boards on the inside of the perimeter walls of your property. The boards are made of 92mm insulated plasterboard which retains heat in your home and enables you to save up to 50% on heating costs.
If your house has solid walls, you will not be able to get cavity wall insulation. Solid walls are the norm in houses that were built pre 1940’s. Solid walled houses lose heat easily – you could be losing up to 30% of your heat through the walls!
If you’re thinking of renovating the interior of your house, then dry lining insulation would be ideal. It is cheaper and faster than external wall insulation and it’s also a good option if you want to retain the brick exterior of your house.
Interior insulation reduces the chances of damp penetrating your walls (except rising damp, which is due to a faulty damp course). If you have existing damp issues we can often rectify these before we install your new insulation. Your damp proof course should be treated by a specialist prior to insulation, and we can arrange this for you if necessary. After insulation, however, our thorough work ensures complete coverage, reducing the risk of damp.

Effectiveness of Interior Insulation
Dry lining insulation significantly reduces the rate at which heat escapes through your walls (thermal conductivity) due it’s excellent ability to resist heat transfer (R value), resulting in warmer, more pleasant conditions inside your home.
What is Involved in the Installation Process?
Our insulation panels are pre-finished and do not need plastering, which means that all we need to do is install them, thereby reducing the length of the job. Read below for more detail on the installation process.
How Will Interior Insulation Affect my Home?
Dry lining is lightweight, so it won’t affect your foundations. It also allows great flexibility for design changes, future expansion and any future internal alterations.
