Hello everyone,

following situation:

House built in 1998 (prefabricated house with timber frame construction) is being converted into a single-family house 55ee. Now, according to the energy consultation, I am supposed to install the following in my roof:
-> Roof insulation: 24 cm WLG 032 in rafters + 4 cm WLG 022 (PU) under rafters

The rafters currently only have 20 cm and there is already insulation installed in them. This means my current setup is: 20 cm in rafters + 4 cm under rafters
I have attached a picture.

Questions:
1. Is it possible to find out the insulation value of my existing insulation afterwards, or do I have to expect to remove the existing insulation anyway?
2. Expanding the rafters doesn't really make sense to me now, is there a possibility to achieve the setup 20 cm rafters + 4 cm under rafters with different insulation values or would it be more advisable to expand the 4 cm under rafters?

I would be very happy about your opinions!

Regards!

If the insulation is already 25 years old, you can be 99% sure that it definitely does not have a WLG 32. It is very unlikely that 32 insulation was installed back then.

You could put in PUR insulation. It insulates significantly better.

How is the entire roof structure planned? PUR insulation with aluminum foil for the 4 cm as a barrier? What material are you using for WLG 22 – PUR with aluminum foil only has WLG 23. What does the energy consultant say?

The existing insulation certainly has 0.040 WLG. What makes me suspicious is the 4 cm. Could that possibly be a necessary air layer? Because then you wouldn’t actually be installing 24 cm. What does the overall structure look like? Apart from that, mineral wool and PUR is just disgusting...
