My loft is currently about 70% boarded out and I plan on getting the insulation updated as it is currently quite thin. I'd like to pull back the existing boarding so that the new insulation can be installed underneath.
However, I do need some storage space up there so I would like to put the boards back - but since the new insulation will be really thick am I right in thinking I'll need to build up the joists and create some sort of suspended floor to get the clearance I need?
Are there any gotchas to doing this - is it safe? What is the best material to use and best way of fixing it to the joists? Any advice would be much appreciated.
