Maybe worth considering is putting some wood preservative on the sofit ends of the trusses such as Protum. Also think about where u are going to put down lighters in and get them boxed and insulated before it’s too late. We have down lights and I spent ages sealing them as they are drafty things
@@macplastering no lights inside the house but the wind here is terrible so on a windy night the air blows into the roof space and it them comes down past the down lighters. This is not a building control solution but I put terracotta flower pots over the and the foamed around the pot. That made a huge difference in the house but there are a few we cannot get to as there is flooring over them up stairs. If I was doing it again in would be a full insulated warm roof on the house and poly urathane in the cavity. It’s more money to buy but farther faster install on top of the roof
@@macplastering no down lights out side the house just inside but the wind blows into the roof space and down past then so they had to be boxed in where we could reach them with terracotta flower pots
@@macplastering that whole roof space is vented and in the winding our loft seams to pressurise so it comes down. But if it come down then it’s a path for heat to escape. Here it also blows down the conduit and past wall sockets. When u really think about it very hard to get an air tight house hence the warm roof is best
All looks good, dont forget to book trackers now!
Trackers ?
