Good day I rent in a very old house with a cold roof. The upper floor extends into the roof and has a roof slope of 2.5m length on both sides of the house. From the attic, I can see into the gaps between the rafters (100mm) up to the exterior wall. Considering the rising energy costs, I am thinking about what could be done with low cost and effort. I do not yet know if the landlord will contribute. In my opinion, pulling a vapor barrier is hardly possible due to the described situation. I could cut EPS boards and slide them down or insert mineral wool in rolls. The insulation lies directly under the tiles. With mineral wool, I see problems with moisture and with EPS, that the boards do not properly close against the rafters. Are there alternatives? What would be the lesser evil? I know that my considerations are far from an ideal insulation and roof structure. It's about saving some energy for the next 5 years. Thanks for all suggestions Remo
