I am about to get an attic conversion done in next few weeks. Builder wants to put slab insulation in stud partition walls and then in roof of living space, but not in roof that is outside the living space and forms the roof of the storage space where the water tank etc goes.
The house is near a busy road and there is background noise
He says that if you insulate this as well, you will end up with condensation problems / poor air circulation. I am concerned about road noise / heat loss as the eves of any roof have ?small air gaps and presumably heat will be lost throu the access storage hatches / noise can come in throu these from the uninsulated areas?
Should the roof of the storage areas behind the stud partition walls be insulated as well, or is there a danger of excess condensation as builder states? is it safe to block off the air gaps in the eves areas of the roof?
