Hi All,
I've been looking through the various posts on loft insulation and issues that arise.
I see no one has mentioned these:
Has anyone used them?
I was looking at cross batterning as i need to gain 5"~6" depth in my loft as i have 170mm insulation to fit. I already have around 20mm space from the exist joists and underflush insulation. This is only for the usual christmas trees and suitcases with out of season clothes.
The cross battering for 5"~6" deep seems to mean using 2" (or 46mm cut) wide pieces. I cant seem to find a supplier for 1.5" or something that would be stable. Thats about an extra 160kg for the 50ish metres (@ 600mm wide) i need, and thats before i put any boards down!
The above seems absolutely perfect but they dont 'feel right'. Also buy the time you use them everywhere for support it wont work out much cheaper than batterns and less practical.
Would you use treated wood for joist extensions or would non be fine?
Just looking for some experiences / opinions really. Or at least people may not have seen them before and might be a bit of a for a smaller solution.
Kind Regards
