So I want to insulate between the internal beams of my log cabin roof, both for heat retention and also to minimise rain noise.
I plan to stuff insulation up and then batten and put a false plywood ceiling up.
Question is, what insulation to use and what depth? The beams are 200mm deep, so can take a fair amount, and there are no headroom issues.
Also should I be leaving an air gap between the insulation and the existing ceiling/roof?
I realise that insulating the outside is better, but it had a new covering put on last year, so no way that is being taken off again.
