[Note: Does anyone else think that with rising fuel costs, it may be worth having a section on generic home insulation and econimising?]
Anywho, I cleared my loft out the other day, and I found that the shoddy fiber glass was patchy and probably doing a REALLY bad job as insulating the top of the house.
In an attempt to econimise, I plan on re-insulating it and flooring it. I am torn between polystyrene sheets (50mm) and rocwool. I dont believe that the loft is really accessable enough to make spray foam an option.
Our loft joists are 3"x2", so idealy, no more than 3" of insulation would be used. (unless there are ways round this?)
From the information I've supplied, what would you guys (and girls?) recomend, for the most cost effective re-insulation?
