How good is this stuff?
Nice that it is made from fluffy baa lambs not nasty itchy glass but is it an equivalent insulator?
Homebase have it on offer for 49p/square metre on 10% day. Next cheapest is 100mm Space Combi made from recycled glass bottles at
61p/square metre.The 100mm space blanket is £1.49/square metre and the 200mm £3.49/square metre (do a quick sum and but 2 * 100mm rolls instead of 200mm rolls!).
I am looking at various insulation strategies for TMOALS (The Mother Of All Sheds) and just got the HomeBase flyer in the mail.
What also puzzles me is how it is cheaper to process wool from sheep than to blast out thin glass fibres on a production line.
What also puzzles me is why the price per 100mm thickness goes up with thicker rolls of insulation when you would think it should come down. For instance the 100mm Space Combi is 61p/square metre. Multiply by 1.7 gives £1.037. However toe 170mm roll is £1.07 per square metre.
About the same logic as pricing for different size packages in supermarkets, I suppose.
But I digress.
Should I consider the wool insulation?
