-The insulation wedges are very easy to use, and may also be used without problem with the other interior insulation variants presented here. They only occupy a small area at the edge where the heat flows out and capillary conduction into the uninsulated inner (and warm) areas of the room often takes place. The EPs material used here has a µ-value between 20 and 30, which is adequate for protection of the no longer quite so cold interior wall or ceiling surface, but at the same time it is not so vapour-impermeable that this would be a problem with the diffusion open variants. These type of insulation wedge and also those made from wood fibre insulation boards or even calcium silicate are avvailable on the market. All such insulation wedges may also be used  in other systems – as we have described here, what matters is that adhesive should be applied in a way that prevents air flow behind these (in our case by means of a bead of adhesive all around).
