randomly hit the keyboard and produced:

Can any of the subscribers recommend me a good loft insulation for a
semi-detached two story family house please.

At the moment I have some old rather scraggy fibreglass material I
need to replace.

Been looking at this, any advice would be much appreciated ???

It's about as useful as pixie dust. It's what it looks like; bubble
wrap painted silver. It says it's equivalent to 55mm polystyrene - the
jury's still out on that - but even if it is, polystyrene is about as
good an insulator as mineral fibre, so you'd be taking out your
existing glass fibre and replacing it with something that's no better.

Save your money and fit mineral fibre, the thicker the better.
Currently about 300mm is optimum based on the law of diminishing
returns, but unless you think energy prices are going to stay still or
fall, then this is likely to increase in the future.
