Insulation Deals & Offers

Voted hot but noticed minimum spend £100 for 15% off. Should update your post.

Thanks. If you get 4 or more rolls it works out £12 inc. VAT a roll. Same price for 170mm thickness for less coverage

You got 100 million internet points for being brave enough to admit it, good one :)

Both 8.3m2. How’s it less

also called slab as in the third item in the title

Less m2

Seem multi-buy discount has ended.

Website lists bulk saving if buy 4 or more of £12 per roll inc. VAT. Is it worth getting 100mm thickness and double laying it? As 100mm (8.3m2 coverage) compared to 170mm thickness (4.9m2 coverage).

I’ve used this on a nice number of occasions, simple to cut and does make a difference. Made from recycled glass bottles apparently.

Its ok as in its cheap but it the worst rockwool i have used ...you will need to use a mask !!

cheers op, the free delivery over £50 swung it for me

Asked in store about the expiry date on this - told it'll be on until February.

Abuse is fine if the being isn’t your pet? :/ Death can take days with glue traps. It’s extremely cruel. If you insist on using lethal methods they should at least guarantee a quick death.

You're just confirming what i said. Finding it useful or effective or whatever doesn't change what the other guy said: it's barbaric. There's humane alternatives that are no less effective. That's what makes it barbaric: actively choosing the method that causes the most suffering.

Depends on the context. You would rather prefer infestation? Rats & mice can carry virus & diseases through urine who wouldn't care about your morals than to breed. I guess your health isn't important to you then?

Not sure as the PVC may degrade. Perhaps if it is put within tubing and sealed to stop water getting in. Best thing to do is to ask Kenable or even Pro Power who make the cable. There may well be a similar model specifically made for outdoor use in the same way electrical cabling or CAT cabling is within different casings for indoor and outdoor use. Failing all that, Richer Sounds is likely to be helpful.

Would this be suitable for outside?

CPC Farnell has the 189 strand cable for £111.04: https://cpc.farnell.com/pro-power/jy-189/189-0-10mm-transparent-twisted/dp/CBBR6316

Cold for long title.

Definitely was not CCA? Got a link?

Yes, yes they do. They will adjust the price on sales, in real time, they will adjust in real-time against competitors they will adjust based on what operating system you are using, they will adjust, based on whether you looked at the item before, they will adjust the prices on weather, on the time of day, they will adjust prices all.the.time. Its dynamic pricing, and every online retailer will do it, they pretty much have to.

I don't know if they are good at it.

I know - they're really good at it aren't they?

Even at 57 it's a good deal

No other rentalier does it soon as one item is brought increase the price

I think it's most likely down to the people who have a sense of humour upvoting it... XD

A few cricket teams might be stocking up!

How has this even got hot? Only reduced by 2p and cheaper elsewhere and can be ordered online so you know if there's stock. https://www.screwfix.com/c/electrical-lighting/insulation-tape/cat850122#category=cat850122&sort_by=price Cold from me

B&Q Black Insulation Tape (l)30mm (w)19mm £1 Think you might want to change the length of the tape!

Think I might buy a few for the local cricket team

Always useful to put away :)

You do realise the weather will be back to normal in a few days and it'll be 10 degrees and rising? HUKD today has been nothing but companies trying to shift the last of their Winter stock :{

Poundland used to sell Thinsulate hats and gloves but last time I noticed they had ones with the tag "Thermal". I've been buying Thinsulate products since they appeared in the UK - think I first spotted them in C&A (!) in the mid 1980s.

Love my Thinsulate hat, might get the gloves. If they are as good as the hat, they will be good. Example of how good Thinsulate is - I can't wear my hat long, in slightly warmer times of the year, because my head gets too hot.

£2.47 for the hat now. Nice find bought the Gloves.

Deal is no longer there

Besides putting a carpet and underlay over bare floorboards on the first floor, any possibility of something light under the floorboards for sound and heat insulation? I think I know where my neighbours TV is below me.

No

I did my loft late last year with this stuff (they had the same offer back then), easy to uses as it is pre cut and wasn't really itchy.

Bought 3 of these, great stuff - only needed 2 though so returned one and got refunded £14.50 - so you can technically get 2 for £29 rather than the usual £32.

Blimey, I'm glad I got loads of the Knauf space blanket insulation (covered in mica foil) a few years ago for £5 a roll... those crazy days where energy supplies were subsidising every conceivable green energy saving device, CF lightbulbs for 10p each and such like. This seems like a decent deal though.

Well yeah, thats why I made a general comment, instead of replying to you... :)

probably not for a garden shed :)

Worth remembering... "Some energy providers are lowering the criteria for eligibility as they struggle to meet the targets. This means that most householders are now able to obtain free insulation measures." http://www.government-grants.co.uk/free-insulation

sure do you mean behind (say) plywood on battens etc, walls & ceiling? would work well NB also available in the great Homebase sell-off, about £11/ roll

Yeah depends how much you need i guess. Thanks for working that out may help others.

If my calculations are correct, obviously depending on desired quantity: Homebase 200mm rolled = coverage listed as 3.88m2 per roll @ £11.99 = £3.09/m2 Wickes 200mm rolled (3 for 2) = coverage listed as 5.61m2 per roll @ £14.49 (3 for 2) = £2.58/m2 Wickes cheaper by a margin £/m2.

We wrapped up a lad on his stag night in this and left him halfway along the M6 toll. He loved it and it cost less than a tenner for hours of enjoyment...

I bought this yesterday. Asked the Mrs. where she wanted it. "Pop it in the corner" she said. Twelve hours it took me!

With the winds we're having it's a new green house I need not insulation for one!

These are great fun for little ones to play with! They have them at my local sure start centre as part of their sensory play. Babies love the light it reflects and the crunchy sounds it makes. Fully supervised of course.

Bought four for our homeless sponsored sleep rough. Bargain. (y) 🏼

Do you have to add your own heat?

Just reminds me of Charles in Better Call Saul!

How many American spy drones do we get flying around Britain, and why would they be looking for you ? My thought is whether these would be useful for criminals avoiding police helicopter thermal imaging cameras, or even search and rescue if stuck on a mountain, when using them for their intended survival purpose ?

No such thing as a standard garage so you'd need the width x the length to get the area, then for building regs you'd need minimum depth of 270mm. If it's a cold roof you'll need to leave 50mm for ventilation. Your joists will not be that big so you'll need to use PIR or fill them with rockwool and then use insulated plaster board.

It's 14.99 at Wickes for the 100mm, minimum is one roll. Not cheaper but if you go on Mondays it's 12.75 any other day 13.39 with discount. But for the bigger thicnkesses this is a good price.

Be careful if external garage might have a problem with damp , see... http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=178755

Has this item a further discount using the trade card?

Yes, the idea is to fit this in beween the joists from the crawling space and hold tbem with netting.

I didn't say it did.

Doesn't apply to a single person without children.

Doesn't have to be a larger family. The 18k you refer to is actually without children.

PRAT

Or 42 hours a week on minimum wage. Potentially in a job that is zero hour contract or minimum guarantees hours so that the employer has to make little to no pension contribution. A single parent who works any number of hours in a week to support themselves deserves some help. Anyone who is trying to help themselves should be offered help in heating their home. It's a benefit to them, their families and the environment. At the end of the day anyone who is entitled to benefit and sees this 'deal' is trying to make the little they have go further so surely that deserves some positive reward. They're not at bargain booze or dealers corner spending it on cheap drink and crack. Not all benefit claimers are how they appear to be being portrayed by the mass media.

Yes, offer finished on Monday.

I was just in store this evening to collect my order from Monday, they had loads of rolls at the entrance but the price was up to £15 when you buy a certain quantity, I think it was 2 or more, so reckon it is £18 for one again now.

Does anyone know if this offer is still on. it's currently showing £18 online just wondering if it's the same instore.

sorry was out fitting it and rewiring etc etc. i think i would have got 6 in my car comfortably without measuring to find out which was best way to put them in. hyundai i30

Right, just ordered 10 rolls. Cheers OP. BTW for anyone else still to order - don't forget to use the 10% off discount code. It didn't work for me to start with - presumably because these are already on offer - but adding a full priced item (a 57p door knob in my case) made the code work and saved me £8.50 off after deducting the door knob cost. Oh and 1.1% TopCashback - every little helps :)

i just tried with my energy supplier and it says not eligibla as dont earn under £16k

​break building regs, that made me laugh, even a Victorian house should not be using kingspan or celotex between the floor joists, you should use natural materials, like hemp or lambswool.

​Unless you have a newer house (in which case you shouldn't need more insulation anyway) do not do that with standard insulation. Causes damp problems. You need to use a specific floor insulation (kingspan is the one I remember but there's a couple), designed for underfloor use, they insulate but don't get anywhere near as bad an issue with damp. By using inappropriate damp-proofing on main joists you can actually break building regs & invalidate insurance. I only know this cos my father in law suggested doing it in our victorian house so did some research & found a few horror stories & as such the correct way of doing it. Unfortunately the correct way is more expensive, but as opposed to potentially causing rot of your floor support joists, not so much in the long term!

Unless you love the external walls look , see about insulating the external walls.Insulating the loft is the cheapest way to go but seen some lovely insulated and rendered walls lately ... http://www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/home-insulation/solid-wall

the 200mm version is £20 a roll if you bought 5 or more, works out at £3.63 a Sq metre, the 100mm version at £9 a roll works out at £1.08 a Sq metre. so if you double up the 100mm roll to make it 200mm it only works out at £2.16 a Sq metre. so not sure on those figures where you got slightly cold from.
