Spotlights-draft proofing
Hi all, i have a fair few spots in my upstairs ceilings and am concerned
they let a fair amount of expensive warm air into the loft. Is there anything out there that can be used to put over the spotlight in the loft to protect it from touching loft insulation and stop the air leak? cheers Steve |

You really shouldnt have air going from the house into the loft as it causes condensation and then rot. |
