Internal Wall Insulation in Naas
Insulated dry-lining for homes where the outside cannot change, done with careful vapour and moisture control. Covering Naas town centre, Sallins, Punchestown and the surrounding area.
Internal Wall Insulation for Naas homes
Internal insulation in Naas is mainly used in town-centre period homes, where solid walls and conservation context make it the right choice. The 1990s and 2000s estates across the wider catchment rarely need it, as their partial-fill cavity walls are better improved with attic, airtightness and cavity work. We use it in estate homes mainly for converted garages or rooms with thin walls.
How homes in Naas lose heat
The 1990s and 2000s estates were built under older building regulations with partial-fill cavities and modest attic insulation. They usually rate C, and the gains come from attic top-ups, checking cavity fill and sealing airtightness gaps. Town-centre homes have solid walls and need a different approach.
Typical housing: Town-centre period terraces and pre-war housing, with 1990s and 2000s estate housing across the wider catchment.
Planning: Town-centre conservation context can apply to older homes; estates 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.

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.
