Does 21 mm paneling support 400 mm insulation?

Feel free to sort out who is right and who is wrong, but refrain from personal attacks!

yes, that's unfortunate!

Who is right then?
1N = 100g or 10kg? (or however it was reasoned earlier in the thread).

Sometimes I wonder what is heavier.
1 kg of lead or 1 kg of feathers?

I might as well share my reflection here with the original poster... I've just finished insulating the sloped ceiling with 390mm (195+195) at a 38-degree angle... Putting aside that it was devilishly hard work considering I had to do it from walkways over the underlying frames where we have an open space up to the ridge, I used mason's string at 30cm intervals to support the insulation so it wouldn't fall down... it sags just a little, and with 21mm paneling, you shouldn't have any problems.

Now I plan to add plastic and then set 45x45 horizontally with insulation to break the thermal bridges...

And this is in Halland For those who think it's too much insulation, I can only say that insulation during new construction is cheap... adding more afterward is expensive. So why not go a bit extra to ensure you're covered... a heat pump is all that's needed in our house... to cool in the summer;-)

1 kg of lead or 1 kg of down?

They are equally heavy, you know...
But it probably hurts more to get 1 kg of lead on the toe.

Now, the dispute was about whether to use factor 10 or 9.82, and that was made clear at the end of the dispute. Enough said about this.
