Abstract

The article deals with the historic buildings and their insulation. It is generally known that classical thermal insulation of walls from the outside is not permissible due to the cultural value of historic facades. Compared to external insulation solutions, the implementation of internal insulation is more technically complex and faces several risks. In the article is devoted the chapter which deals with the aim of the application of internal insulation in historic buildings. There are mentioned risks associated with the application of internal insulation, which are related to the thermal-humidity behaviour of the structure. One chapter is devoted to faults that may occur after the application of internal insulation. These disorders have a building-physical character and also affect the hygienic criteria of the building. The larger chapter deals with insulating materials suitable for the purposes of interior insulation of historic buildings. The results of a case study from Dublin and Košice are also presented, where the thermal-humidity behaviour of selected thermal insulation materials was investigated. The results of moisture content and surface temperature before and after application of insulating materials are compared.
