So.
We are in the process of buying a property which, according to survey, could do with some more loft insulation. No problem. Its got some, and onto of the 'some' the loft is fully boarded. That will offer... some level of insulation.
We've been told one option is to raise the boarding in the loft, put down a load of insulation, and then raise the rafter depths and reboard over the top. This will obviously lose us some vertical space.
We might be looking into doing a loft conversion in the near future, so doing this isn't preferred.
What about doing the loft insulation that goes onto the back of the roofing felt (on the uprights) opposed to the floor ?
Is this as effective as the floor based loft insulation, and will doing this make any difference if there is already this existing insulation in place?
I don't want to do work now that will create a load more work later if we decide to do the loft conversion, so help hugely appreciated !
Help !
