New roof insulation and loft storage stilts advice
Mornin! Wondering if anyone can advise. I’m getting new loft insulation done in a couple of weeks. My loft is currently floored so I’ve been told my options are 1. Lift the flooring so the insulation can be laid this will mean I either have no storage or I need loft storage stilts to go on the joists so I can board on top or 2. Just lay the insulation on top of the current loft flooring. The joists aren’t as deep as what the insulation will be (it’s a 1950s house). So my question is if I use stilts do they need to go in before the insulation? And if so does the boarding also need to be in also or is it better to install them after? Is there an easier way to do it and still have loft storage? The flooring up there is only a few years old and installed well. I’ve been told the insulation is laid down across its self like crosshatched. Anyone have a similar project? I can call the company that’s installing the insulation but wondered if anyone has any advice first. submitted by /u/promise-Im-not-here [link] [comments]
