I’m looking to floor a bit of my attic, so should I buy new joist and attach them to my existing joist then put the floorboards down ?
Yes use cls first, good luck
@@MrBish11 thanks for the quick response 👍
Great videos. If I want to put a small office desk up there would running 89mm CLS perpendicular be strong enough? Thanks
Should be ok if you use 400mm spacing for the cls..
Can you board the whole loft or just the square
Hi Great vid. If you need to join 2 CLS timbers on a joist do you overlap them or can you butt them and add a brace?
Overlap if possible, but I know what you mean, it's not always possible

Do you attach the cls to the joists at all?
yes with screws at an angle
@@MrBish11 I was going to run my raises the same direction along joists with the biggest screws I could find 😀
@@corpse101 cross baton the new cls, opposite direction, gives a lot more support, good luck..
@@MrBish11 upon a closer inspection my original joists are very small and insulation is towering over them to raise my joists to almost meet my 270 insulation I'll need 140mm CLS sooo I'm considering heavy duty brackets? 🤔 I'll put 1 on each side we're there joists Cross over.
Don't you have to fit loft legs here or can you get away without using them.
Hi mate
When you lay the CLS timber
Do you need to attach the ends to the wall or anything?
Or simply lay them across the top of the ones underneath?
Thanks
Yes, just lay them at 90 degree angles, don't attach to the walls.
Hello, great video. Same question really. Are the new timbers solely supported by sitting on the existing joists? Are they not supported by anything else, like wall plates?
Cheers John.
Why has he got a mask on
cutting insulation.
