I’ve just used this detail for insulating suspended timber floors downstairs. I was keen to get it right as we’re having UFH, so really wanted to ensure that the insulation wouldn’t cause problems with damp down the road. Any repairs would become a massive undertaking. This seemed to tick all the boxes, using the hemp insulation was a dream

Thanks - yeah I completely agree, nervousness about damp / breathability problems is one of the reasons I'd want this done by a pro / based on good advice. Will read that doc and see how it lines up with what I've read before
