Internal Wall Insulation in Kildare town
Insulated dry-lining for homes where the outside cannot change, done with careful vapour and moisture control. Covering Kildare town centre, The Curragh, Irish National Stud and the surrounding area.
Internal Wall Insulation for Kildare Town homes
Town-centre period houses in Kildare often use internal insulation so their front elevations stay as they are, and older stone and solid-brick walls need breathable systems that let moisture escape. We assess the wall before specifying. Rural homes around the Curragh are usually better suited to external insulation, but internal lining works where an exterior must be preserved.
How homes in Kildare town lose heat
Rural homes near the Curragh are exposed to wind across open ground and often have solid or stone walls, oil heating and little insulation, rating E or worse. Town houses share the solid-wall profile. These homes have some of the biggest potential savings in our service area.
Typical housing: Town-centre period houses and terraces, period semis, and rural and village housing across the surrounding area.
Planning: Town-centre conservation context can apply; rural homes generally allow external insulation.
How internal wall insulation works
Internal wall insulation lines the inside face of external walls with insulated boards or a stud and insulation system, then replasters. It suits homes where the exterior has to stay as it is: red-brick period terraces, protected structures, Architectural Conservation Areas, or a single elevation that cannot be wrapped externally.

Is there a grant for internal wall insulation in Kildare town?
SEAI individual grants for internal wall insulation (dry-lining) are €4,500 for a detached house, €3,500 for a semi-detached or end-of-terrace, €2,000 for a mid-terrace and €1,500 for an apartment, for homes built and occupied before 2011. Grant amounts are set nationally by SEAI and change from time to time, so check seai.ie before applying. We confirm what your home is likely to qualify for during the survey.
How much room space does internal insulation take?
Usually 60mm to 100mm off each external wall, depending on the system. On a typical room that is a small loss of floor area for a large gain in comfort.
Is internal insulation safe for solid brick walls?
It is when the system suits the wall. Solid brick needs moisture to be able to move, so we choose between breathable and vapour-closed systems after assessing the wall and detail the junctions carefully.
Can I live in the house during the work?
Yes, we work room by room so the rest of the house stays usable. Each room is out of use for one to two days.
