Thank you for looking at my post!
I have a house built in 1926 with very poor/thin loft insulation. I wish to add to my loft insulation but wish to use it for general box/christmas decoration etc. storage.
I know that filling between joists with standard loft insulation then laying down wooden loft boards will only give me approximately 100mm of the recommended 270mm of loft insulation
Would anyone advise laying 270mm of standard insulation rolls around the sides while laying load bearing insulation boards in the centre for storage above the 100mm of insulation between the joists??? I know that laying wooden boards on 100mm of insulation is a waste of time, especially in a 80 year old house with no cavity wall insulation.
I would rather not spend the time & money installing 2" x 4" joists at right angles to the existing joists to help raise the existing loft joists closer to the required 270mm of insulation.
r.s.v.p. - thanks...
