Exterior continuous insulation on a tiny home?

skibow | Posted in General Questions on

For a home that’s moved only a few times in its life, is it possible to securely fasten rigid mineral wool as exterior insulation?

I assume you can’t use exterior insulation under a metal roof. Is it dumb to have better insulated walls than the roof? I mean, if the roof is the weak point in the insulation, is it wasted money to throw that exterior insulation on the walls?

    Implementing exterior continuous insulation on a tiny home is crucial for enhancing energy efficiency and comfort. This insulation technique wraps the home, reducing thermal bridging and ensuring consistent temperature regulation throughout the space. It helps keep the interior warm in winter and cool in summer, maximizing the tiny home's compact design. For more insights and tools related to tiny home construction, check out Visit PCGamesEmpire
