Re: Yurt Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

Perhaps, but the laws of thermodynamics are the same in full time yurts as they are in part time yurts. Also, bigger doesn't necessarily mean you will be burning more wood:

Re: Yurt Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

I agree, ventilation is key. It is simple: moisture needs to be gone. If you have a heat source, use it. Sure, you are going to use a little more fuel, but that is better than rotting out a yurt...

Re: Yurt Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

I am wondering if a dome could not be modified with PVC to allow ventilation, and then the dome could be replaced during summer months?

Re: Yurt Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

I wish I knew the answer.. I think at some point though, a winter dome will need to be developed that allows the yurt to vent. Just my opinion though.

Re: Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

Stephan,

That is a good point. Perhaps those here who are trying the roof insulation, did not cover it with non-breathable materials like foam board, plastics, etc, it would help with...

Re: Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

Heat will always get through no matter what you do, and when it touches the cold skin, it will create condensation. That is why you always leave space in the attic of a house. Well, maybe somebody...

Re: Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

Is there a space between the insulation and the roof? I would think you would need this space so the air inside could travel up to the opened dome.

Re: Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

The only thing I can think of is to have another layer of plexiglass covering the ring, UNDER the dome, but on top of the rafters, if that makes sense. Then you could open the dome to vent out what...

Re: Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

I think you need to vent out the condensation somehow, I would imagine with the dome.

Re: Dome Insulation Install and Condensation

I know some people who heat with gas and it contains a LOT of moisture. A wood stove provides a nice dry heat. I agree, ventilation sounds like the issue if it is not leakage.
