Hello everyone,
I will be moving into my condominium in February. However, before I move in, I want to carry out various tasks/changes. One of the changes concerns the cladding of the roof slopes on the upper floor between the rafters.
At first, I thought I could simply work with drywall panels to eliminate the primary drawback – the visual aspect. Then I thought of drywall panels with an insulation layer made of polystyrene or something similar.
Then the topic of "dew point shift" came up, and I became aware of the products "StoTherm In Comfort" and "StoTherm In Aevero," as these are apparently moisture-regulating.
Questions:
a) Regarding the topic of "dew point shift," it is the case that when I insulate from the inside, the dew point shifts outward. Thus, I would not have any problems in the interior, but if anything, outside the visible wooden panels and the layers above that are located between the visible wooden panels and the tiles, correct?
If this is the case, what kinds of problems should I expect, and above all the even more important question: How can these be avoided/circumvented?
The roof was completely re-covered in 2004. However, at the moment I do not know what materials were used for this. I hope to find this out in the next few days (I will provide this information here later).
b) I would attach both the drywall panels with an insulation layer of polystyrene and the products "StoTherm In Comfort" and "StoTherm In Aevero" directly to the wood with a special adhesive/paste/mortar and additionally screw them in. On the left and right sides of these panels, I would probably make sure to leave a few millimeters of air so that I can finish the edges cleanly with a right-angled stainless steel strip. I would not need a vapor barrier from the inside with any of the three materials, would I?
I would be very grateful for advice/hints.
Regards, D
