			<![CDATA[I am planning to create a warm loft by adding PIR insulation between the rafters. To give the rafters enough ventilation, I am planning to install 70mm PIR boards, leaving a 30mm between the PIR boards and the sarking felt. The problem is that the installed sarking felt is not permeable to air or humidity. Hence I was thinking of installing felt lap vents between each pair of rafters, one on the bottom and one on the top. My worry is if this will give enough ventilation -- I am worried about the rafters rotting away.<br /><br />Related question: I was thinking of installing another 70mm PIR board on top of the rafters. Is that a good idea in terms of ventilation/condensation/dew point?<br /><br />Many thanks!]]>
