Hello all

I've had a look for an answer but need some experience. I am in the process of insulating the 1st floor crawl spaces in my 1.5 storey property. It was built early 2000-2001 so the loft insulation isn't quite up to it. During the initial laying I noticed that the rear of the dwarf walls were filled with loose glass wool and craft papered over - Some of this was damaged hence it drawing my attention. In winter we do have a heat issue in this particular room and wondered if I would be better redoing the dwarf wall insulation with rockwool batts? I have absolutely no experiecne of this so not sure of the correct approach and obviously do not wish to create a condensation issue though inexperience.
