Insulating a house from the inside – when is it a good solution?
Most homeowners choose to insulate exterior walls, but this isn’t always possible. In the case of historic buildings, tenement houses in densely built-up areas, or when the façade is decorative – the only alternative is internal insulation. Is this solution worthwhile? Find out when it’s a good idea to insulate a house from the inside and how to do it correctly.
When Does Insulating a House from the Inside Make Sense?
Interior wall insulation is a good choice when:
the building is under conservation protection,
you want to avoid interfering with the façade,
zoning conditions do not allow for external insulation (e.g., the building is too close to a neighboring structure).
Although interior insulation has its limitations, with the right choice of material it can significantly improve thermal comfort indoors.
Choosing the Right Material – The Key to Success
Internal insulation most often involves boards with an insulating layer (e.g., plasterboard combined with foam or mineral wool) or spray-on thermal coatings. The company Bauter offers innovative thin-layer solutions that work perfectly for this type of project.
Why Choose the Bauter Inside System?
It provides excellent thermal insulation,
Saves space – the insulating layer is thin yet effective,
Protects against moisture and mold growth,
Is quick and easy to apply.
What to Pay Attention to When Insulating from the Inside?
Insulating from the inside requires special precision. A vapor barrier must be used to protect the insulating layer from moisture inside the room. Attention must also be paid to airtight installation – any gaps can lead to condensation and reduce the insulation’s effectiveness.
Conclusion
Interior insulation is a solution that, in many cases, proves not only necessary but also effective. The key to success is choosing the right insulation materials and carefully executing all layers, especially the vapor barrier. Thanks to modern technologies like Bauter’s thin-layer thermal insulation systems, you can achieve high energy efficiency without sacrificing valuable living space.
