Hi all, I'm thinking of now creating a false ceiling by hanging joists - 3x2 probably. I will create a small rebate in each end and they'll sit on the conservatory 'walls'.
I will then clad the ceiling with some upvc - either t&g or plain panels.
However I'm a bit stuck on the insulation. I was going to put loft roll on top or between the joists, but would I need a vapour barrier? If I did, where would I install that? Before the cladding?
Alternatively I could staple mutlifoil to the joists, roof side, which would act as the insulation and vapour barrier - but the thermal properties aren't as good as loft roll.
I know this isn't standard, and I'm not expecting miraculous results. I also don't want anything too permanent, hence the lack of fixing to the frame, as we're not going to be in this house forever.
Any advice on the insulation bit?
Thanks
