Hi
I have just moved into a house where there is a great quantity of carpet remnants. Is this OK to be used as loft insulation between the joists?
And a supplementary question if I may...
when adding timber to raise the joists to allow deeper insulation...should these be along the exisiting joists or at right angles to them?
Also the previous occupants left behind a stack of polystyrene ceiling tiles..could these be broken up and used as loose insulation material..or would this be a fire hazard? is polystyrene ever used as loose loft insulation?
thanks
reg
