Hi,
Some of you may remember a few weeks ago I asked the same question and the topic turned into an argument between bickering members and was taken completely off topic. Though there were a few helpful posts my question was never really answered so I thought I'd give the forums another chance. In the past I've had really good advice and it's a shame if a good forum is going down the pan.
Anyway... I have a wood built shed that was wired 2.5mm t&e ring, 1.5mm t&e lighting circuit and a dedicated 16A supply for a table saw. As an after thought I'm now going to insulate the shed with loft insulation and plasterboard. This means the cables will be trapped between the wooden outside walls of the shed and the insulation in direct contact with it.
Is this acceptable as I've heard in the past you should not lay cables in a loft in direct contact with insulation?
