Loft legs damp question

hairyslug · 2023-10-21 08:59:57

I’m looking at adding insulation and flooring to the attic, to bring it up to 270/300mm. If I go for 270 and add 170mm loft legs, the insulation will be right up to the flooring. In a typical set up (if there is such a thing) could this be an issue with regards to damp or would I be better getting the larger loft legs.

No issue if your insulation is up against the underside of the flooring. As long as you are not compressing the insulation with the flooring/platform.
There wont be any damp consequence ... assuming the attic is dry ordinarily
