Chanmenie Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 (edited) Hi all I have nearly finished the insulation in my attic trusses, I have put insulation from the ridge to the eaves as I wanted the lofts warm. Is it recommended to plasterboard over the insulation in the loft spaces ? Edited February 29 by Chanmenie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharpener Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 Our Building Inspector was more concerned that there was the correct ventilation space between the insulation and the slates/flat roof to prevent condensation in the voids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I have a 50mm gap between insulation and felt / tiles, building inspector didn’t ask to see it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe90 Posted February 29 Share Posted February 29 I think it depends on what you use the loft space for, storage? Leave it, office etc, plasterboard and scim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will only be storage, not big enough for anything else, other than the MVHR pipes and manifolds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
