floor insulation
Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2011 3:09 pm
I am in the uk and have just looked at a double unit in places the floor is soft
so i looked under and it seems there is very little or no insulation.
i am an engineer and would plan to do the work myself should i purchase the home
my question is
i plan to replace the floor with builders exterior ply fareastern but am not sure where to put the insulation at present it looks like it is on top of the beams and under the flooring is this for air flow to the beams.
or can i buy a loft insulation with silver outer coating you staple the silver coating to the beame and the insulation is glued to the coating and would sit between the beams. if i do this will it stop the air getting to the beams and make them rot earlier.
here is what i was thinking of using
any advice would be greatfull
