insulation ?

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.

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.

Christian.

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