Hi all
I have been replacing the insulation in my loft, spaceblanket rolls, pipe insulation and the cold water tank.
My cold water tank is not sitting on the floor in the loft, it is on a wooden structure (like a table) about 450mm above the top of the joists.
The general opinion on the web seems to be that one should not lay insulation below the tank - is that correct in this situation?
Should I extend the tank insulation all the way down to the joists (like a skirt) creating a kind of tunnel from the floor of the loft up to the bottom of the tank and leave the area directly below the tank free of spaceblanket?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
