Just evaluatiing options to increase the amount of loft insulation we have.
We currently have the legacy 4" of fiberglass wadding between the rafters. The centre part of the loft, approx 40% of the floor area is boarded with chipboard panels.
Seems like the current legislation specifies 12" of insulation and another 200mm of e.g. Knauf Eko Roll would do the job for the 60% that is not boarded.
But what to do with the boarded bit?
... there seem to be some options to raise the floor like this:
www.loftzone.co.uk
Hope I could get a loft ladder to work with the increased floor height this results in.
And what about the newer insulation types like this:

Any suggestions to make the job easier and meet current regs?
