something to keep dust down in loft

softyengin

Hi, I am using my loft for storage but the insulation leaves a film of 'dust' everywhere.

Seeing as i go up there a few times a week to get/store stuff, is there any material like a fine net, which i can lay over the insulation which will keep the dust down.

and... after i do this, is there any way to collect and get rid of the dust that is in the air right now, like some sort of air filter.

I was thinking of hanging sticky fly traps to catch the dust ;o)

Board the loft floor over.

yeah but i wasnt going to do the whole thing. I have the center area floored and was thinking of flooring under the eaves 'in places' to try and spread the weight out, im also paranoid about how much weight can be stored up there.

Put a sheet or two over the stuff thats stored to prevent them getting dusty instead?
