insulation ?

[in2minds]

what's the cheapest insulation I can buy to put in a ceiling cavity between basement and kitchen ? BCO says it's not a requirement but I'd like to put some in there anyway.

thanks LJ

Wickes, but if fitting from below, I'd use polysterine - B&Q

If you use polysterine (SP?), then make sure it is of the flame retardent variety.

And make sure the polystyrene :-) doesn't touch any cables.

All good points. Use celotex or rockwool, and avoid polystyrene if you can.

Polystyrene is not a good choice unles encased in concrete screed :-)

And the cheepest celotex / kingspan is again B&Q - even cheeper than seconds & co's seconds.

It is ? Which B&Q is this ?

[basil]

I've never seen that at B&Q!

[Christian McArdle]

I've only seen Jablite at B&Q. Where/when did you see Celotex/Kingspan? It would be very useful if they've starting selling it cheaply.

I'm quite near there. What brand of insulation is it ?
