This spaceblanket stuff always looks attractive to me, particularly
as it leads to a lot less itchy stuff floating about the loft! What
niggles slightly in the back of my mind is all the advice I've seen
(mostly on this group) about ventilation in loft spaces - Doesn't
the plastic wrap essentially make a barrier to vapour dispersal
compared with bog-standard fibreglass? Or doesn't it matter really?
I guess the same would apply to the silver bubble-wrap that the OP
suggested....


I got th impression when I installed some that there are
microperforations in the plastic wrap.

Much better IMO than the loose stuff. The slightest exposure gets it
right up my nose (and skin, etc....)
