Hello,
for our two-story single-family house, we celebrated the topping-out ceremony 10 days ago.
However, I am concerned about a few things regarding the construction of the wooden beam ceiling:
-The carpenter directly laid a walkable floor on the beams over the entire area. These are OSB 3 boards.
-The boards are directly attached to the beams. No battens in between.
A full insulation between the beams is planned later during the interior construction along with a vapor barrier, battens, and plasterboard. The attic itself will not be heated. The roof slopes will not be insulated.
I am worried that due to the lack of ventilation and the diffusion-tight OSB boards directly on top of the insulation, condensation and mold may develop. Is this construction faulty, does it comply with building regulations, or am I overreacting with my concerns, what do you think?
