Not sure why my question provoked such a reply. I'm well aware of all you say, my question is can hygroscopic salts still attract damp when covered by damp seal. You had no answer to this so not quite sure why you replied as you did. Apologies if I've misunderstood your motive.

They sure are, think this one was in excess of £40!

Happy New Year all! I'm looking to build a decorative hearth around a non-functional fireplace. In front at the moment are just floorboards and I've got a slab of slate to put down. Only problem is that there is 10.5cm gap between the fire and the floorboards. I've seen suggestions to...

Thanks both for your replies. Was keen to get 170mm in for the extra insulation values, 100mm would give 2.25 R-value. i guess dropping it into the gap would provide perfect cover as there would be gaps between the joists.
