We are renovating a house that was originally built in the 1920s we have this beautiful ceiling in our dining room, but it is straight tin. Is there a way to insulate and do like a new roof on the outside? We really want to keep this beautiful ceiling showing![uploading 20180225_161626.jpg]()

It is technically both the ceiling and roof right now. If I were to drill into it, there would be a hole to the outside. We want the tin and wood to show, but at the same time it needs to be insulated.

It probably can be but you need someone with specific expertise in that area.
