Hello group
I've recently moved into an Edwardian town house, the previous tenant has stripped all the floorboards back and waxed them up, they look stunning, but the drafts that emanate between them is gruesome. I would like to insulate the flooring by means of inserting polystyrene between the joists. The ground floors are all suspended and have a space of about 20 inches which can be crawled into between the ground and the joists. There are air bricks situated on the outside of the house which circulate the air under the floors, What I need to know is will insulating the floor cause any issues with rot, I don't want to cause condensation or damp.
Regards
Otto
