What the job involves
Modern insulation is deeper than the joists it sits between, usually 270mm against joists of 100mm. Boarding straight onto the joists crushes the insulation to a third of its depth, which costs you heat and can cause condensation in the roof space. Raised boarding solves it: a system of legs or a timber counter-batten lifts the deck clear, the insulation stays fluffed, and there is a ventilation gap above it.
