Perhaps I'm being naive but in terms of a rating I was under the impression that there was something different about the insulation depending on the location it was being used in. They seem to be advertised as 'loft' or 'wall' but there's very few which talk about a suspended ground floor. It...

Thanks for the info!

I want to insulate the ground floor of my house from the void below and my plan is to do it with wool insulation held up with netting. This seems to be a fairly standard way but I'm struggling to find insulation that is actually rated for the purpose. Everything from the usual shops (MKM...
