Wooden beam ceiling with intermediate insulation

Wooden beam ceilings are made up of rod-shaped components. The beams are usually made of solid wood or glulam. The classic beam ceiling allows for a glue-free construction when solid wood beams are used. Disadvantages of the beam ceiling are the high construction height and the multi-layered structure.

Advantages

• Resource-optimized use of materials
• Diverse use of materials (solid wood beams, I-beams)
• Very flexible in confined spaces (conversion) or with irregular floor plans with many openings
Usually
• the most economical solution

Disadvantages

• Ceiling thickness
• Complex component due to multi-layer construction
• Elaborate connection details
• as a partition ceiling only possible with great effort due to noise and fire protection requirements

The insulation material

Which insulation system is best suited depends entirely on the roof space: rooms that are not used and are only entered for maintenance purposes can simply be lined with mineral wool sheets. For attics that are to be accessible, on the other hand, pressure-resistant panels are suitable.
