Cavity Wall Insulation Slabs for loft?
I have a pack of left over 75mm Glass Fibre Insulation slabs from the
building of my extension. Is there any reason why I shouldn't use them to top up my loft insulation? (Superglass - Superwall) |

(Superglass - Superwall) They are a bit on the heavy side for in a loft if they are the dense things that I think you mean. But if the beams are strong enough... -- Regards, Martin Brown |

It is a lot heavier per unit area than the fluffy stuff you usually put into a loft. I suspect it would go right through the ceiling of a modern build house. -- Regards, Martin Brown |

Cavity batts don't weigh anything like enough to bring a ceiling down. I think you're thinking of something else... Jim K |
