Hello!
Due to new construction plans, I have been reading up on insulation materials.
Therefore, I now know that the insulation material should preferably be separated from the indoor air by a foil so that no moisture condenses in or on it as soon as the dew point shifts there.
I have also gained the impression that an insulation material should ideally be hydrophobic, meaning it should not absorb moisture. Am I correct in this assessment?
So ideally, it should be a closed-cell insulation material, and thus I quickly came across Styrodur.
This is now also being applied to the inner shell, on the Ytong blocks, and it is also intended to be used under the screed.
I am now considering whether I can also use Styrodur for the roof because of its ideal properties....
