    B&q had knauf stuff on offer for €12 last sat week, by the Thurs it was €16 edlp.

    Can anyone rate it with other similar products?

    I was going to buy at 12 but they annoyed me by upping it to 16.

    Mixed and some unfavourable reviews on the B&Q insulation.

    It seems to be very cheap material and fall to bits when rolling it out,according to people here who have tried it.

    Just finished installing earthwool in 2500sqft dormer yesterday... very pleased with the result.. even if I do say so myself! Earthwool is not nearly as itchy as previous fibreglass options... although I would still suggest mask and disposable overalls. The ammount of small glass fibres caught by the mask is a true eye opener:eek: .. dont take the chance.

    Heitons selling Earthwool at 18euro a roll (6.6m2) buy ten get one free. Delivery and extra 10euro.. well worth it.

    What's everyone's opinions on using 50mm kingspan insulation to insulate the roof between the rafters in the attic?

    I would put 100mm in between the joists and seal between the joists with expandable foam so that it leaves it pretty air tight. Leave 50mm between felt so it can breath. I would then slab over with 100mm foil backed insulation. I would insulate the hell out of this area as it is the coldest spot in the house. You could also look at an air tightness membrane

    Or just do this,(bio foam open cell 800),cut it back level with the joists and then slab over it...if you are converting into a usable attic space.
