Q15: Should I push Space Blanket into the eaves of my loft?
A15: No, you should not push loft insulation into the eaves as it prevents air from flowing and removing moisture. Use a proprietary crossflow ventilator or ensure a minimum 25mm air gap.

Q16: Should I insulate underneath the water tank in my loft?
A16: No, do not insulate directly below your water tank. The warm air from the room below will help prevent your water tank from freezing in cold weather. Do remember to insulate around and above the tank though to prevent the warm air from escaping completely.
