Cheap loft insulation at Homebase..

Elsewhere someone pointed out that Homebase have an offer on Knauf Carbon zero Earthwool made with rockwool and recycled bottles. Around £5 a roll. Only 170mm thick so put in two layers. Not sure how long the offer price lasts.
http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?langId=-1&sto...
Data can be found on their web site..
http://www.knauf-insulation.co.uk/
Thermal conductivity (eg U-Value for a 1 meter thickness) is given as around 0.044 W/mK.
Presumably this is sponsored by one of the energy suppliers.

I got some on offer at BnQ a few months back, like you say its the energy companies having to show some green credentials. Very cheap and I so gave my loft an extra layer.
When are they going to do an offer on Kingspan? My workshop needs more insulation before the summer
turns even colder

Spray Foam is the way to go with your workshop WS.
When I grow up I might buy myself the DIY spray foam kit.

Z it would cost about £500 to insulate the ceiling with 1" of foam, quick but expensive, unless I have the price wrong for 500 ft

Jeez, if you tried insulating my barn the insulation industry would be working at maximum capacity.
Nothing wrong with a few draughts, is there Z?
