The invention relates to a method for insulating an inter-panel space formed between a first insulating panel (1) and a second insulating panel (2) for a wall of a sealed, thermally insulating tank for storing a fluid at low temperature, the first insulating panel comprising a first side face (8) facing a second side face (9) of the second insulating panel, the inter-panel space (7) being delimited by the first side face and the second side face, the method comprising the following steps: - positioning at least one insert element (10) against at least the first side face of the first insulating panel; and - injecting expanding foam into the inter-panel space between the insert element and the second side face of the second insulating panel, so that the expanding foam expands and the insert element is pressed between said expanding foam and the first side face of the first insulating panel.
