I've almost renovated the entire winter garden.
New felt on the roof.
New windows.
The door will be replaced.
Ceiling torn down due to previous leakage.
Shiplap inspected and is ok.
The plan is an air gap which also means everything below is largely "airtight."
Insulation 14-about 20 cm due to slope.
Vapor retarder or Vapor barrier?
Battens.
Plasterboard.
Acoustic panel.
The room will be used year-round with heating, etc.
I've thought about using a vapor retarder to let it "breathe," but maybe that's a wrong assumption?

Vapor barriers are the best, especially when the house is a bit older, it's also good if you can get in a fresh air vent if there isn't one already.
That's what I think too.T Timmermannen77 said:
Yes, a vent will be installed on the same wall as the fireplace. That way, fresh air is drawn through the house to the toilets, which are on the other end of the house, and likewise if the fireplace is burning, cold air is not drawn through the entire room but hopefully only along that wall.
