Lining the inside of a roof

[Chaard]

Im Re-boarding the loft after having nice shiny new insulation fitted in my 1930s build house.

the plan is to use the space for storage but there is no felt under the tiles so everything in there before was covered in lots of cobwebs and dust and general grime.

im thinking of using some kind of lining like this and just staple-gun it to the rafters, maybe taping up the joins as well.

it's breathable so i shouldnt have condensation problems and i wont go all the way to the very bottom i don't think.

what im asking is... should this be ok? is there anything cheaper and/or better that i could use.

Should be fine but roofs are funny fellas so keep an eye on things. ebay can be a good source of breathable membrane.

great tip!

im looking at either POWERLON ULTRAPERM LITE total £38(inc P&P)

or Cromar Vent 3 Lite for £27.25 (inc P&P).

anyone used Either brand before?

Also should i go right to the eaves incase i get a leak since this will be very internal and not installed directly under the tiles. My thinking is it doesnt matter as the house has stood for 70 years or more without any felt and no leaks in our current driving rain conditions.

Go to the eaves if you like, it won't make any difference, horses for courses though really.

excelent, ill order the CROMAR this weekend after ive double measured the roof!

im going for the CROMAR purely because i prefer the name - ive compared the specs and theyre pretty much the same and same price.
