Hello everyone. We would like to insulate our top floor ceiling because we only want to use the attic as a storage room. We have owned the house for less than 4 weeks, so we can't boast much expertise yet :) Now the following question. How do we get a hatch installed instead of the existing staircase at the top? Currently, a small staircase with a door is installed. Since the house is an old building, the attic does not have a proper floor. There are just a few floorboards lying around that you can walk on. Is it enough if we remove the floorboards and screw OSB boards onto the beams and then lay the insulation on top? Sorry for the beginner questions, but everyone starts small. Have a nice evening. Regards

hm

Can the beams support the OSB boards?
Are there ventilation bricks for the attic?
How has it been insulated so far?
Are the OSB boards supposed to be the vapor barrier or does it already exist?
