Possibly looking at flooring my dad's loft for storage - he previously had old doors etc randomly spread over the joists with stuff sitting on them.
However last year he got his loft re-insulated and the insulation is all much higher than the joists.
Now doing some googling the options seem to be
- adding timber to the existing joists to raise them up enough to lay boards
- buying loft leg extenders which seem to be some sort of plastic feet that you screw into the existing joists to then give you more height for the loft boards
- don't do it due to potential dampness, condensation
- don't add more weight as it will bring down your ceilings
- professional job with all sorts of structural issues
I have laid boards before straight onto joists, but has anyone done this after having extra high insulation installed?
If so, what method did you use?
