• Removing old tiles, screed, mosaic, and unnecessary items can also significantly reduce the load and is a necessity, as most people choose to save work and lay new over old, which means even more load. Among other things, dry flooring insulates, which is a big plus in winter conditions.
• The ceiling, on the other hand, must first have thermal insulation to block the cold, and second, vapor insulation beneath it to prevent vapor from entering the thermal insulation and causing mold. Thus, the combination of thermal insulation, vapor insulation, and windows will also affect the internal rooms, reduce heating bills, and make them warmer.
