Hi there
I'm having my loft converted and the architect has specified this type of insulation to go under the floor. I want to know how it's laid.
Is the chicken wire cut to fit between the joists, stapled to form a 'basket' and then 1 thickness of Rockwool laid on top?
I have seen in the past the chicken wire run over the top of the new joists, pushed into the space between them and stapled, then the insulation laid. Does this not affect the chip board flooring when it's put down?
Hope someone can enlighten me!
Thanks
