Hello
I have a question since I have heard many different opinions from my circle of acquaintances and colleagues.
We have just bought a house and want to fully convert the attic.
The roof (clay tiles mortared from the inside) still looks good, so we don't want to reroof it yet, but it will be due in 5-10 years.
If I am standing in the attic looking at the bare clay tiles, do I now have to install a vapor-permeable underlay membrane, then insulation + vapor barrier?
Or can I omit the underlay membrane?
If yes, does my insulation need to have air space to the tiles or be tightly pressed against them?
There are always very different opinions about this!
Afterwards, drywall will be installed since the room is to be inhabited.
In 5-10 years, when reroofing, an underlay membrane will be installed from the outside anyway.
I hope I have written my question precisely enough.
Thank you for your answers.
Best regards
Sebi
