Good day dear forum,
we have bought a house from the year 1966 (solid construction). Unfortunately, the roof is not insulated. The windows are all 4 years old. The house has a roof length of 13.75m and is 7.385m wide. The tiles are only 15 years old and still look good.
In the attic is the "stage". The converted attic with two dormers contains the bedrooms and a bathroom.
So far, only the floor between the attic and the top floor is insulated.
Now the question arises. Is it worth insulating here, and if so, from the inside (between the rafters) or from the outside?
There is also no foil installed in the roof, and the dormers are not insulated either. We have a budget of about 20,000 €.
Or should the money rather be invested in a photovoltaic system including a battery? The house is heated with night storage heaters and a large tiled stove.
Attached are a few pictures of the roof.
I am looking forward to your opinions & tips.
