Hello dear forum members!
This forum is really great and there are many helpful tips. Now we have a special case and can't find anything suitable for our question. Therefore, I am turning to you and hope that someone can help us.
We are building a house and our shell was completed in mid-November. The windows were installed and the roof was covered. We are doing a lot ourselves and have started with the interior work in the last few weeks. We wanted to insulate the roof in the next few days. Our problem now is that the underlay membrane is damp and the beams are partially damp as well. We had very low temperatures in the last days and everything was frozen on the underlay membrane. We set up small heaters and now nothing is frozen anymore but it is still damp. We are not sure at all whether this matters or if it is not bad and will dry out in time. If we clamp the insulation wool between the rafters, no air can get in and we are afraid that it will mold because the vapor barrier on the inside also seals it off.
I hope someone who knows about this topic can help us. If you need any more information, just get in touch.
Many thanks in advance for the help.
