Hi
After visiting the Homebuilding and renovation show at the NEC, I came
across something called 'SuperQuilt' by YBS Insulation. I claims to
have a U value of 0.19 - if used over rafters. I spoke to the guy on
the stand and explained what I wanted to do - use it over my rafters
then cover it with plasterboard. He said this was fine as long as the
plasterboard is kept at least 25mm from the blanket (using battens)
and the plasterboard has either foil on it or I use a seperate
polythene vapour barrier.
This installation seems to sound ideal for my use - and is cheaper
than foam/celotex etc - and means that as an amateur DIY'er, I could
probaby do it myself.
Anyone any thoughts, good or bad on this?
The companies website is http://www.ybsinsulation.com/ - and the guy
reckons on about £10/m2
Thanks in advance
Simon

Its not cheeper than kingspan (celotex by a different company), in
100mm thick sheets purchased from B&Q in Chester.
