I'm thinking of doing a DIY job on my attic room as presently it can be quite draughty. The internal finish consist of a 7-8mm grooved timber boards which are nailed directly to the rafters. There is a vapour barrier and only 150mm rockwool between the rafters.
I'm thinking the following:
1. Strip down the original timber boards.
2. Reinuslate.
3. Dryline using a 10mm gypsum boards.
4. Plaster.
5. Paint finish.
Could someone please recommend the thinnest insulation that could be fixed directly to the rafters, I could use in order to achieve the current building regs, best u-value. I have a height restriction in the attic of approx. 2m...so it needs to be some form of sheet insulation which I can lay under the plasterboard slabs
I would prefer not to remove the original vapour barrier\rockowool insulation, if possible.
Any thoughts, welcome
