Internal Wall Insulation

Warmshell’s internal wall insulation system is easily fixed to walls and ceilings from the inside. So, if it isn’t possible to fit insulation to the outside of a property, this is the easy, energy efficient alternative.

No other type of insulation system brings quite so many benefits

One of the most compelling things about Warmshell is its combination of benefits.

The natural, healthy solution

Warmshell is the natural solution. It uses natural components – primarily wood fibre and lime mortars – with no harmful chemicals or adhesives.

Snug and warm in the winter

The combination of natural wood fibre and hydraulic lime render embedded with recycled glass beads brings outstanding insulating properties – keeping you warm and saving on heating bills.

Comfortable and cool in the summer

As well as locking heat in during the winter, Warmshell also keeps it out during the summer – so your property remains cool and comfortable.

Warmshell Woodifbre has remarkable phase-shift properties, exploiting the natural ability of wood to store heat, which means unlike synthetic insulations it protects you from summer overheating. 

Passivhaus principles

Warmshell lives up to the Passivhaus design principles – reducing the need for space heating and cooling, and bringing excellent indoor air quality and comfort levels.

Superior acoustic insulation

Warmshell Woodfibre offers outstanding sound absorption properties – providing superior protection from both airborne and impact noise.

The benefits of breathability

With Warmshell, your walls can still ‘breathe’, allowing trapped moisture to escape. This prevents condensation, avoids damp, and makes your insulation even more effective.

Sustainably sourced, and environmentally sound

Lime Green's natural lime mortars are manufactured right here in the UK, and their wood fibre insulation panels are sourced from sustainable European forests certified to FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) standards.

Tried, tested and fully accredited

Warmshell is tested under ETAG 004 (European Technical Agreement Guidelines), and has been independently monitored by (SPAB), the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings.

Reassuring standards of fire protection

Compared to petrochemical-based systems, Warmshell’s carbonisation properties limit the speed at which fire can spread – and its fire protection qualities have been classified by a UKAS approved fire testing lab.

Surprisingly affordable

As well as being highly-effective, Warmshell is also very affordable – we’d urge you to compare our prices with those of any petrochemical-based alternatives.
