Hi, Few questions regarding making a dry/warm? loft for storage..
I have a new build 'SEMI-DETACHED' wimpey 'Tiree' house, 5 years old now, with W trussed rafters.
in a nutshell.... (from my previous thread...)
(data about loft floor removed from this one) MODERATOR
I'd like to create a 'drier' environment for storing my stuff, currently its all open.
So my next question would be, for storage, not living space, can i add some vapour barrier material to the roof (with a gap between roof and barrier), then somehow erect boards up there with insulation attached to them, giving a kind of internal living quarters type look.
i dont want a liveable room but i do want to at least partition off some/all of the loft in such a way as it stays dry and can handle storing stuff without the need for plastix boxes.
basically can i seal it off/create a little dry room up there easily enough? what would be the best plan of action for that?
It will def be for storage only, no children's play areas etc! although i may hide up there myself with the laptop if I cant get any peace downstairs!
Many thanks for any advice guys...
