Good day,
I am new here and would like to introduce myself first.
I am Alex, 24 years young and recently proud homeowner.
Since a heating system renovation is due at the latest in 2020, I want to make some changes to the building envelope beforehand.
In the attached photo, you can see the passage from the garden to the street. Protected from rain, but directly exposed to outside air. Above it is, among other things, the bathroom with underfloor heating, which is why I want to insulate there. So far, there is nothing installed there.
The annex was built with 24 cm Ytong. I plan to install 160 mm 032 EPS insulation with a step joint there (if there is enough space, I have to measure). Is there any reason against this?
At the same time, to the right of the passage is the heating room. This room, as well as the entire ground floor, which serves as a cellar, is not insulated upwards towards the apartment.
Can I also safely install insulation there?
Space-wise, 160 mm will also fit in the heating room; unfortunately, in the rest of the "cellar," only up to 100 mm is possible.
Is this possible without any problems, or does it pose any risks?
Thank you very much for the answers in advance and already a Happy New Year 2019!
Alex
