Construction / Civil Engineering / Description of the restoration of an historic building
Italian term or phrase: pacchetto di isolamento
This is from a description of a project in which an old farm building was restored. Here's the context:

- ricomposizione dell’ordito di copertura con sostituzione delle travature ammalorate, incongrue o lesionate, conservando l’impianto delle travature principali e secondarie esistenti, sostituendo le attuali catinelle con tavolato ligneo, pacchetto di isolamento e ripristino del manto in vecchi coppi o similari

Thanks.

insulation
Explanation:
That's how I'd say it (I'm an architect). I wouldn't worry about the "pacchetto".

if you really want to, in this context you could say "a layer of insulation" but it isn't essential.
