It is best to lay a vapour barrier on the loft floor above the
plasterboard.
This is poly sheet. This will prevent water vapour entering and condensing
in the loft. Also seal up any pipe and wire holes in the loft.


but shouldnt the vapuor barrier be at the warm side,
which is underneath the insulation?

or am i wrong again...


and why are you insulating the floor
if the loft is to be used for computering,
shouldnt the insulation go above the room?


v ery interesting,
i should put fire walls into this old house/..

Thanks for our advice - a few Q and A's on what you said..

Do you mean there is no wall in the loft between each terraced house?

Yes

First fill the gaps between the joists with insulation. On top of the
joist
install slabs of thick ridgid foam.

I like this idea, but...bearing in mind that I will be walking on this
to a computer that I intend to permanently site up there, will the
foam compress under the boards or spread the load effectively enough?
