Hello,
back in 2008, there were already certain energy efficiency requirements....
How thick is the insulation layer in the ceiling?
If you are still cold in the winter despite having a heating system, and your door is cold as well, I would suggest consulting a building inspector or specialist to take a look. I think something isn’t right.
Regards

First of all, thanks for the previous answers.
The heating system is a marble panel heater. As we have noticed so far, it produces little heat and consumes a lot of electricity.
The automatic stove is located in the living room and manages to create a cozy warmth there and in the open kitchen, but unfortunately not in the hallway with the mentioned door. The bedrooms remained quite cold, except for the one where the chimney passes through. The attic staircase (pull-out) was not insulated. We managed by placing two Isover mats over the opening.
As mentioned:
Plasterboard
Intermediate planks with Isover mat
Wooden boards on top
That’s all.
We will have a passive house door installed with a heat transfer coefficient below 1.
What material would you consider the best solution for the attic?
I was thinking of PU foam panels with a wooden board on top for walking on.

If the situation remains this bad, I might even consider removing the existing insulation and replacing it. In the long run, that could possibly be the most cost-effective solution—if you factor in the energy costs... More likely the most uneconomical solution. The house was built in 2008!!!
So, once again, the question: How well is the ceiling insulated?
