Hi,
I want to board some of my loft for storage. I have been reading the past posts on the subjects and would like some advice.
I intend to use chipboard T&G loft flooring from Homebase and board about three areas in the loft with a 3 meters square. I will also be boarding along the rafters that will be used to walk from one area to another and to the loft hatch.
The insulation in the loft if fibreglass and is up to the top of the rafters. If I board on top of this, (so the insulation is touching the underside of the flooring), will it cause a damp problem through the lack of ventilation under the boarded area?.
It this is the case I will put battens at right angles to the rafters and lay the boards on this, but what size battens should I use and what spacing.
Many thanks
