Hello all,
I have a ceiling in a bedroom that I want to insulate. The room gets very cold and I think that the heat is escaping through an uninsulated part of the ceiling.
The loft space above the bedroom extends to approx half the width of the room below and then the slope extends into the bedroom. This half is insulated but I cannot get to the sloped area without taking the tiles off on the outside.
So I was wondering if I could insulate this area from the insdie by building a kind of false ceiling within the room.
For this I was think of running some batons along the room, filling the voids with polysterene and then covering with a thin layer of ply wood.
The reason for the thin layer of wood is that it would need to be flexible as the transition area between the flat section of the ceiling and the slope is curved.
Would this work as a thermal barrier and is there an easier way?
Thanks
