Hi
I have ordered the celotex board insulation to put in between the rafters and floor, the rafters are exactly 120 to 130mm and same is on the loft floor.
I am planning to cover it all up with 100mm board and then board it up.
My first question is would 100mm board insulation be enough. I am putting another 100 on the roof rafters.
Secondly, the timber on the floor is about 40cms apart, if i lay board across it, would it be strong enough to take the load, I Am only planning to use it for storage.
The third and most important thing is that initially I thought I will leave some space around the downlights and cover with downlight cover but my problem is that the wiring for all this is going over the timber and not through a hole in the timber.
The downlights are all fireproof but what should I do with the wires.
I dont have pictures but I hope I have explained myself, they are just going across the timber on the top.
