No insulation at all? Man where i live i would have jammed every inch with R30 and/or spray on foam. Either you're wealthy enough to afford to pay for a lot of wasted AC or you live somewhere much more temperate.

We recently spent the last year and a half renovating our home. It took forever because we decided to strip the walls / ceilings and reinsulate every inch of the house.

It’s made such a ginormous difference.

When we first bought the house we tried to remove the wall paper and even with all the heating on we’d still be cold.

I’m now lying in bed, uncovered with our radiator on the lowest setting and feel absolutely comfy temperature wise.

I’m really glad we went the extra mile and added in more insulation everywhere and redid the ceilings / walls.

The room is an add on to the house. There isn't anything above the room. There is a small electric heater for that room and that's it. Doesn't get a lot of use other than laundry.

The comment I replied to misspelled insulation. They wrote insolation, which means exposure to the suns rays. Then they edited their comment to correct their spelling mistake.
