Hi All
Need some advice.
Currently doing a loft extension and need to put the insulation down on the floor between the joists. Normally this would be an easy affair as it would be a straight 'roll it out' type job. The problem i have is that there are many noggins between the joists.
How would one lay insulation in such a noggin situation?
Seems to me there are two choices here.
1. Somehow try and fit the insulation UNDER the noggins (no idea if this is going to work but there should be enough space for them to fit. Once this is done, cut the insulation so that it fits between each noggin ie I would end up with a double layer of insulation.
2. Fit the insulation between the noggins only.
I seem to remember reading somewhere that insulation needs be in one length only which is why i suggested option 1.
Help, need to do this at the weekend.
Thanks
Lee
