Insulating Understairs

gaz wac

Hi

Bit of help please. We have a toilet under the stair's but the place is FREEZING !! We have a small door which leads further under the stairs which we use for storage ( see pix). Im going to fill between the battons with insulation, but do I need to put anything over it ? im thinking some sort of felt ? I wont be using plaster boards as I wont be able to cut it ( im not handy ) ?

Thanks

Cutting plasterboard to shape and size is very easy indeed.


Measure up and draw your line/measurements on the plasterboard.

Then with a sharp stanley knife,drag the knife along the line so that you create a cut/score along the line.

Then break/snap the back of the plasterboard with your hand,and thats how you cut plasterboard to size and shape.


Very simple indeed.:)

whizbang

sheet of pvc plastic will do the job, seal the edges and joints.

But if your throwing the mop and brush in there regularly, it wont cut it..:rolleyes:

what insulation are you using?
