Hello everybody,
Sorry if this seems to be another of hose repeated questions, but i have looked through other post with similar situations but found mixed answers,
My question is, i am planning to istall floor insulation to my suspended ground floor, and having read about how the insulation affects the wiring i am after some advice, the wiring is clipped to the bottom of the joist so that is not a problem, however where the wiring then comes upwards to the sockets through the insulation (about 6") what is the best way to do this.
I was thinking about putting some 50mm plastic trunking around the wire so creating a sleeve with airspace around the wire, would this be ok.
PLEASE dont get to technical with your replies if you can help me, i've read about diversity but dont totally understand it (Think its to do with reducing cable capacity??)
P.S. the insulation will probably be celotex or rockwool if this helps.
Thanks Duncan
