Internal Wall Insulation (IWI)

Insulation applied to the internal face of external walls to improve thermal performance, used where cavity wall or external wall insulation is impractical (e.g. solid stone walls in listed buildings, or terraced houses where external appearance must be preserved). IWI reduces the internal floor area slightly and requires careful detailing at window reveals, floor and ceiling junctions to avoid moisture problems.
