Hi,
I am thinking of adding some flooring to my loft to let me store boxes etc up there.
Having read topics on here and having had a look inside my loft I can see my insulation is currently 270mm (100mm between the joists and 170mm going at a right angle above that).
I am not looking to cover the entire loft, or use it as another room, I just want a small section for storage.
Would it be ok to lay some flooring on top of my existing insulation and effectively compress it by screwing down the flooring above it?
I assume I wouldn't lose much efficiency in insulation?
Thanks in advance.
Martin
