Hello,
my new workshop is a wooden extension with a sloped roof made of tongue-and-groove boards covered with roofing felt, supported by cross beams. For the winter, I need to insulate the roof as cost-effectively as possible.
Question: If I install insulation wool between the cross beams, do I still need a solid layer underneath, or could I, for example, simply stretch burlap under the insulation wool?
I need to be able to continue working during the winter and appreciate any advice.

This is influenced by the target room temperature and the thermal characteristics of the building components adjacent to the outside air or other boundary conditions. Minimum requirements for the thermal transmittance resistance or U-value apply for both new constructions and existing buildings, depending on the target room temperature. Regardless of the required limit values, insulation measures should be considered in relation to the heating system from an economic perspective (cost-effectiveness). When using a ground-source heat pump as the heat generator, overly extensive insulation can usually be avoided, which is less the case with, for example, a gas condensing boiler. Best regards.
