Hey guys,
I've read that you shouldn't board directly onto the joists with insulation inbetween them because of condensation.
I've also read that you should use the loft legs (or similar) to provide a gap, which you can then fill with more insulation up to the recommended minimum of 270mm.
If you do this, aren't you still boarding over with no gap?? What's the difference (condensation-wise)?
How much gap is needed between insulation and loft boards (for storage) to avoid condensation?
Also, is the same true regardless of the insulation material? thinking about using insulation board under the boarded area to retain more head-height.
Thanks.
(If this question seems familiar it's because it was part of my huge post here which was a bit too wordy to get much of a response!)
