Hello everyone,
The construction is gradually taking shape, and the upper floor is now complete. The next step is insulating the top floor ceiling.
The attic will only be used for storage and will not be heated or insulated.
The plan is to build a course of bricks on the floor slab about 25 cm (10 inches) high, line the interior with two layers of 10 cm (4 inches) EPS foam boards with a thermal conductivity of 0.035 W/mK, and then pour a 5 cm (2 inches) clean concrete screed on top.
Is this the right choice of materials, or are there significant differences I should be aware of?
The roof structure itself will be covered with 18 mm (0.7 inches) boards and sealed with a membrane.
Does anyone have other suggestions?
Thanks a lot.

Alessandro9 Jul 2020 14:45I would like to join this thread:
I also have a cold roof combined with a concrete ceiling. On the floor, I installed 240mm (9.5 inches) thick polystyrene boards, and around the edges near the rafters, I used mineral wool.
Now, due to cutting the boards, there are a few gaps (some smaller, some larger). Should I fill these with mineral wool, or does it not matter?
