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
