Hi there,
I have a 3 bed demi detached house which has the bathroom downstairs under one of the bedrooms above.
In the bedroom above i have 1/3 of the floor boards up as i had some new lights fitted along with an inline extractor fan. The joists are 15CM deep with the ceiling below (bathroom ceiling) being plasterboard. Above are floorboard (not T&G but those with gaps). i then have underlay and carpet on top of the floor boards.
As the carpet is up i am looking to lay some insulation between the joists to keep the heat in the bathroom below.
I have done some research and i can either lay supporting netting between the joists and then lay 10mm loft insulation on this or use Celotex and have it tightly fitted so it is flush with the top of the joists.
My main worry is ventilation and preventing the wood to rot.
if anyone can advise the best way for me to do this without damaging the floor over the years that would be appreciated.
thanks,
Mike
