I will be insulating and boarding my garage to make it into a more comfortable space for working at home.
I have a pitched roof garage which I want to insulate and board at ceiling level, but how am I best to go about this?
I am also wanting to install downlights which I will need to take into consideration.
Could I place 100mm insulation board between the ceiling joists with a cut out for each downlight. I'd cut a slither from the pieces I have cut out to use above the downlights to close the gap into the roof space.
To prevent any moisture coming through I would fill any gaps with expandable foam
I'd run cables above the insulation and through conduit to the lights in order to prevent contact between the cable and insulation.
In theory should this give me what I need?
It might be that at times there is condensation above the insulation, however if there is enough ventilation in the roof space (which there is), the boards are fully sealed in with expanding foam and the cables are protected from the insulation, then all should be ok?
