We have a large (8.5mx7m) attic in a detached 30s house with zero insulation. With the hot air rising and the cold weather, condensation is forming even though we have a draughty attic. This is causing loads of mould on the stuff stored up there... So we need to insulate and quickly.
The obvious thing is to insulate the floor of the attic BUT proper floorboards have been layed ages ago (even though it is only hatch access) - ie a right big, sorry HUGE, job to remove all of them.
So is it ok to lay some insulation over the floorbaords and what is the best kind? We only use it for storage so I don't mind an awkward-to-walk-on floor.. What are peoples thoughts?
Many thanks
