Loft insulation question with a view to future conversion....
Hi all
I have searched the group via google for info on logt insulation - but can't really find an answer that fits my question.... so here goes. Got an old house. Almost zero insulation in the loft. Planning a loft conversion in a couple of years when the barn conversion is complete (another story). Anyway, just measured the rafters in the loft and the dims a 2.5" wide 3" tall Space between rafters averages at approx 15.5" (some 14, some 16) I need to put some insulation up there - but don't want to waste money by putting something down only to find it unsuitable when we come to convert. What should I use? Kingspan/celotex? Can I cut it to fit the varying widths I'd need? If this is the best solution, how do you fit it? Can I also ask about the loft conversion - woudl the rafters as they are support another couple of rooms - or would the whole rafter thing need upgrading (by an expert!) Thanks in advance Simon |
