Tis is an expensive form of loft insulation but is easier to handle than the rolls.

I chose to buy slabs rather than a roll of insulation as the first layer of loft insulation placed between the joists because the joists were 30 cm apart and this roll was 60 cm wide. I just divided each bale down the middle. Also it is easier to get the slabs into position under the eaves than with a roll which is too thick to get close to the edge and rolls, which all seem to be pre-divided, tend to come apart when you try to manoeuvre them into position. I also have the impression that there was less glass dust using this product but this may be because it took more time to install than the rolls I used for a top layer and needed less manipulation to get them into place. Quite a bit more expensive than rolls (twice the price) but I would use them again for the first layer placed between joists. I can say with confidence that preparing and insulation the insulation in the loft is THE most hated DIY jobs I have ever done! I hope I never have to enter the loft ever again!

Easy to fit, very effective, insulation
I am using this product throughout my 1960s home to ensure maximum insulation. It might not be the cheapest, but it is certainly the easiest to work with and offers very effective insulation. I will be reordering as and when required.

Should have bought 50mm, have to split or swop now?
I am going to try splitting these boards to cover twice the area at 50mm. It is for a beach hut so standards do not apply. All seems in order.

Does what it says on the box
Excellent product, easy to use and much kinder on the skin, eyes, breathing to install.
Designed for use in separating internal walls and floors, ROCKWOOL Sound Insulation Slab reduces noise from adjacent properties and between rooms in the same homes, as well as providing exceptional fire resistance.
Made from stone, ROCKWOOL insulation absorbs sound and reduces sound vibrations due to its density, non-directional fibre orientation and its open porus structure; trapping and preventing sound waves from travelling through it.
ROCKWOOL insulation is non-combustable, and able to withstand temperatures up to 1,000 degrees centergrade. ROCKWOOL insulation acts like a fire barrier, improving the safety of occupants and protecting property and contents in the event of a fire.
SuperFOIL SUPERIOR Foil Tape is a glass fibre reinforced tape, suitable for use with all non-breathable SuperFOIL products. It's superior adhesive makes easy work of sealing overlaps, joints and penetrations and is ideal for use in cold weather.
Celotex CW4000 is an easy to install polyisocyanurate (PIR) insulation board with excellent thermal performance, featuring a low emissivity foil facing. Available in thicknesses from 40mm to 100mm, it can be considered for use in partial fill cavity wall applications.
A universal insulation board for use in pitched roofs, walls and floors. Comprises a fibre free rigid PIR insulation core faced with an aluminium foil composite on both sides.
