Hi,
Looking for some advice and comments on insulating an old 1960's UK bungalow, specifically the loft area which has been split and one side converted into a dormer room.
Essentially one side is the old loft area, and the other was converted and is the older style dormer room (pic attached).
Dormer room - I intend to strip it back to the rafters and install celetex in the walls prior to plasterboard and skimming.
Question is, should I put insulation under the floor, (the lounge is directly below), and if so do i need to leave an air gap?
For the loft area - I am planning on wool insulation in the loft joists, 100mm between and 200mm across, then chipboard on top, Do I need to leave an air gap between wool insulation and chip board flooring?
Thanks
