Hi,
Reading about HIPs has made me think about my loft insulation, so they're doing some good already.
In my victorian terrace the loft insulation is a bit wimpy - tired- looking fibre glass between the joists which looks like it was laid a good few years back, probably no more than 75mm. A lot of it is now under chipboard flooring which I don't much want to take up.
I'm thinking that to make it better I could put insulation between the rafters (I'm never sure about roofing terminolgy, I mean the lengths of wood that support the tiles and make up the pitched roof itself). What do you think? If this is a viable option would this sort of stuff do the job?
The design of the house means that the (original) top bedroom is partly up in the roofspace, and it can get uncomfortable up there on the hottest summer days, so I'm hoping doing this would keep the loft cooler in the summer too.
Cheers!
Martin
