We live in an older house with a beautiful brick facade. Since the walls are not insulated, which is noticeable not only on the heating oil bill, we want to insulate the exterior walls. Are interior insulation solutions straightforward to implement, and what should we be aware of?

Hello everyone
Internal insulation never provides as much benefit as a full external insulation because thermal bridges to the exterior walls occur at the interior partition walls at the latest. The standard insulation thickness nowadays is around 160 - 220 mm (6.3 - 8.7 inches). This is not achievable with internal insulation. Windows and roof insulation also play an important role. Together, all of these elements ensure effective thermal insulation.
