Dear community,
we have bought a partially basemented (on a slope), single-story flat-roof bungalow in our favorite city and now want to renovate it. It is not a prefabricated house but was individually designed at the time by an architect for the builders. We now need decision support or criteria for decision-making on the subject of façade insulation (the roof was newly insulated and foil-covered in 1999). When searching for the above-mentioned criteria, one often reads about avoiding a WDVS insulation of the entire façade due to the risk of mold and instead limiting oneself to insulating the basement ceiling or room ceiling. A friend who is a construction contractor advised insulating everything possible if you also want to renew windows and shutters. What do you think about these two viewpoints? Perhaps someone can report from their own experiences or projects. We would be very grateful for help!
Thank you very much, Tobi
