After looking around for quite some time i'm still unsure if this is a good idea or not, or if it is, the method of installation to take.
I've had all the boards removed upstairs for new wiring and CH... so can get to the void.
I'm thinking about going with 50mm Slab insulation
(http://www.wickes.co.uk/General-Constructional-Insulation/General-Purpose-Insulation/invt/161197)
So the question is do I install close to the plasterboard of the ceiling below and rely on the board and the friction fit to support? or do I install close to the underside of the new floorboards that are going down, and need to support with battens or netting?
Also there seems to be a question as to how electical cables respond to being enclosed in insulation, so I assume this is best if they are run in the air space either above or below the insulation (depending on wich installation method is recommended)
Hope I've made my intentions and questions clear....
Thanks for any help
