Hi All,
I have read lots of posts (questions and answers) about boarding out lofts for storage, and in the mean time adding extra insulation. I have a loft that I would like to do this too, but...
My joists are 400mm apart, 100mm high. Running perpendicular to them are 4x2 vertical, spaced about 900mm!
On top of that what would you recommend to lay as boarding? MDF, Chipboard, Ply, Loft boards etc? Not sure what will be safest spanning the 900mm gaps, or should I lay more 4x2?
Afterwards was thinking about thermawrap on the rafters but have read that they are a bit of a waste as the heat has already escaped.
Thanks in advance to any answers.
Jimbo
