Currently furnishing the upper floor and have a question, the so-called kattvinden is insulated and plastic-wrapped all the way to the eaves, and the floor between beams is fully insulated.
When I then put up the wall, it shuts out all the heat from the kattvinden. Does anyone think I should also plastic-wrap towards the kattvinden, although it feels like it would be plastic-empty space-plastic.
Should one insulate the wall against the kattvinden or leave it uninsulated to let heat out there?
Also, is it enough to put up 28*70 cc30 on the so-called wall towards the kattvinden?
It's about 1.5m high, so you don't exactly walk into it.
It will probably be chipboard and gypsum on it, so it should be stable?

No one has a single thought about this? My thought now is no plastic, no insulation, and let the heat from inside the house warm up the attic, one thought was that you might get cold walls towards the room? Or will everything be reasonably evenly warm?
I had used 45x45 studs and only boards on one side. It will of course be colder in the cat attic because there won't be a good airflow, but I don't think it will be noticeable.
If you insulate, it will be colder in the cat attic and the vapor barrier will be in the wrong position. But if you place a new vapor barrier further in, it must be sealed in the corners against the current one, and you need to puncture the old one and place a new one on the joists, which means it's not an easy task.
