THANKS EVERYONE. SO..... IS FIBREGLASS TOXIC ????? If it has
affected me so badly how can I argue it is good to have in the house ?
Also will I never be able to use the loft for storage so that the
fibreglass remains undisturbed. ???
I must ask them to remove the insulation material
but what is the alternative ??? the company said the only other
alternative they have is
"Whitewool" - what is this - does anyone know ???


Knauf do an "itch free" fibrer glass. You can get it from B&Q as well
as insulation vendors (Encon etc). Its usefull because as well as itch
free it is also contained within its own sleeve.
