Loft insulation

ednotdave

I will soon be moving house and need to "DIY" several jobs, so any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated...:D

The loft need insulating - I don't really fancy using glass fibre (been there, done that - nasty job!), so is there a viable alternative?

Thanks
Ed

They do a product in wickes that's insulation in a bag, one side of which is silver to reflect heat, you unroll it, fluff it up a bit, then lay it between the joists.

Clean, tidy, zero itch solution. But you should work out how much more it's going to cost you and if it's worth it

When I had my loft insulated prior to it being borded the guy doing the work used a product called Artec double, available from Screwfix. It cost more than the standard type of insulation, but very quick & easy to lay.

You may be entitled to a Grant for Loft Insulation? No idea if it works out cheaper than DIY...
