Hi, been asking a few questions regarding various things this week and you've all been very helpful - thank you.
Now, onto my next question :-
My loft has been converted into a semi habitable space but it is very very drafty and cold as it has not been insulated properly. I've identified that I need to insulate between and under the rafters but will be keeping a cold space behind the knee walls and into the eaves for storage, ventilation etc. The knee walls currently consist of thick plywood only which is inadequate. What should I do here to insulate properly ?
Also, the knee walls only go as far as the floor boards of course and thus air is whilstling under the floor boards between the floor joists into the loft room. I intend to insulate between the joists with rockwool etc for sound and heat insulation but this wont stop the wind blowing through - so what do I need to do here to seal the flooring off from the eaves ?
Thank you.
