Hello everyone,
I am having a house (E70 energy-saving house) built with a simple gable roof without windows.
I am doing the roof construction myself. I will receive the roof truss and am then responsible for the rest.
I have not done this myself before, but some relatives have already done it themselves.
Since I am not entirely sure about the roof construction yet, I could still use some advice.
The roofers from the company tell me to do it like this: underlay membranes, counter battens, then the roof battens, and then the tiles... later the insulation between the rafters.
So no boarding made of planks or panels. My question whether this is sufficient for an E70 house was answered with YES.
However, I am considering doing boarding and possibly an over-rafter insulation. That seems more reasonable to me.
Or at least boarding made of DWD or MDF panels, then the underlay membrane, then the counter battens and the roof battens.
Are there any experience reports or expert opinions on this?
