isolant souple

CONT: Si vous souhaitez utiliser les combles simplement pour entreposer des objets : Posez un isolant rigide si votre sol est plan. En l'absence de plancher, déroulez un isolant souple entre les solives. Recouvrez ensuite l'isolant de plaques de plâtre «spécial sol» ou de panneaux de particules de bois qui permettront un aménagement ultérieur. Vérifiez bien sûr que votre structure permet cette surcharge.
OBS: Par opposition aux isolants rigides ou durs.
