    Loft boards insulation in roof trusses

    You could also compartmentalise the space by a simple (insulated) stud wall. This will mean you only insulate the roof space you need to use. (It's cheaper to heat up a smaller space). And the sound will echo in a larger space too... Which may lead to neighbourly disputes.

    Expansion Gap Around Kitchen Units?

    With that said too. I'm just insulating the utility room area of my kitchen, and lifted the laminate (2 years old) it was soaked underneath so I've binned it (got two spare packs)...
