Hey hop.
In the next project phase, we will convert the deck into a dining room.
In doing so, we need to insulate the ceiling.
Today, it's truss, felt, battens, and sheet metal.
I'm thinking like this. (from the inside out)
Drywall
Furring strips
Vapor barrier
Truss.
Then I attach battens at the top of all the trusses where I then place masonite, or is there something else? Thinking it might sag?
Then I've created an air gap.
Insulation between each bay, what type of insulation should be used, and how much should there be?
Sheathing.
Felt, battens, batten tiles, or whatever we choose to have.
What I'm thinking is if it can be done in another way? I want as much insulation as possible, and today there are maybe 25 cm wide trusses, so I'll have room for 20 cm insulation.
Feel free to share some ideas
