Hi All.
I have a chalet type house, and as such the bedroom downstairs has a warm loft above it. The warm loft itself isn't insulated. The loft in the rest of the house is insulated up to 270 mm.
Now, the room downstairs has 2 external facing walls, one to the side backs onto the drive and the other is the front of the house which is north facing.
I am considering internal wall insulation to the external facing wall which is a solid wall, however I just remembered that with the warm loft above the room, I might need to also insulate the floor in the warm loft which is above this particular room.
My concerns are around condensation, if I decide to insulate the floor, I dont think an air brick exists on the suspended flooring and by insulating the floor, how will air circulate around the prevent condensation.
Thanks in advance.
