Roof space problems, but first......

[dinger541]

Sorry guys i've been away for a while, just got back and straight into the DIY again... so expect lots of questions.

The first one is how do i put a picture to explain my problem better on my post???

If i get that one answered i'll get the others down for your expert viewing. they all (at the moment ) refer to the roof space and loft area.

Cheers

Ok I know I'm slow but.... settle Breezer...

What i want to do is.. In my eaves space i would like to insulate the inside of the triangular eaves space, effectivly the wall of the bedroom. I have rockwool set aside for this task... but i need to pick the more experienced brains that permeate this forum (thank you in advance).. First of all:

a. Is it that simple? , I'm not missing something stupid like vapour layers or something? Air flow will not be effected up through the eaves and into the attic above. and as i am not insulating the outside part of the triangle as in the roof i dont think i will be encountering any cold wall problems.

b. Can i place insulation all the way down the wall including the entrance to the void between downstairs ceiling and upstairs floor? My reasoning for this is that in a normall house this area would be sealed off anyway and its only because of the Dorma roof design that you can see this void anyway!

Thank you for any and all suggestions and comments... Over to you Breezer.
