i am in the process of converting my garage into a habitable room. One of the issues i have is in order to achieve the required insulation in the loft, i need on top of the 97mm of insulation between the truss rafters i will also need to put a further 150mm above it. As we are all aware we all need the roof space in order to store our rubbish that we will never use. Im thinking of cross battening over my trusses with 150x50 sw to raise the floor to enable the insualtion to go between and to be able to board over.
my only thought is the additional weight of the cross battening will have on the truss - second thoughts this is probably a fraction of the weight that 90% of us store in our loft these days. Any suggestions would be gratefull.
