Hi folks,
We are in the middle of a garage conversion, and have a couple of velux-style windows in the roof.
The windows are about 1 m elevated above ceiling height, and consequently we have boxed in a triangular "shaft" with plasterboard to where the shaft meets the regular ceiling level.
The building inspection guys have suggested that, as the boxing exceeds the level of the normal fibre-glass loft insulation, there would be cold spots in the areas where there is no insulation. They have suggested batoning out behind the plasterboard boxing and fixing 100 mm Celotex.
Batoning out in the roof space seems a bit of a bind. Have any of you got any ideas?
I would have thought, with a bit of inginuity, the Celotex could be anchored without the need for more batoning? Or am I missing something?
denty.
