Why Interior Insulation? Interior insulation solutions as an alternative to exterior insulation. In many cases, external wall insulation is difficult or impossible (historic façades - in multi-tenant apartment blocks with no consensus between owners, refurbishment). Interior insulation techniques developed by the European gypsum industry improve: the thermal performance of the building, the thermal comfort of inhabitants, and address effectively fire and acoustics issues
