Hi Yeah Wickes also have the Larger 1.2m x 25m for £85 (£76.50 with Trade pro discount) https://www.wickes.co.uk/Airtec-Multipurpose-Foil+Polyethylene-Insulation---1200mm-x-25m/p/137650

Just wondering if this would be any good to insulate a metal garage to stop condensation build up.

If you need 30sqm+ of it, then Screwfix is cheaper: https://www.screwfix.com/p/ybs-airtec-reflective-double-insulation-1-2-x-25m/6520p Otherwise it's £19 for 9sqm at Toolstation, and there's a £5 off £40 voucher.

It would help with the surface temp, of door, but air gap between surfces would be needed whatever you use to prvent mosture

Anyone think that this could be used to insulate a garage door, thinking it could be used to go right across, side to side rather than use celotext in the infill structure of the door?

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

COLD... Or is it HOT!

Insulation. Here have some heat

22mm: https://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-Economy-Pipe-Insulation-22-x-1000mm/p/210453

Not all houses have gable ends, plus insulation will fill the cavity and just with a cavity surely there would be more chance of water ingress unless you have internal tray to drive the water out through weep holes in the brick. Theres probably cracking in your wall somewhere else thats causing a leak, instead of googling get a good builder to undertake an inspection and i am sure you will be surprised.

Really, I thought all disability was visible. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Do you actually know people who are fraudulently claiming DLA? If so, please report them. Or are you just making a sweeping statement backed up by nothing? There are such things as invisible disabilities. Not everyone who is classed as disabled is in a wheelchair.

I meant the "home service" cover plans, which will gladly take somebody's £10/20 a month for boiler breakdown cover for an old back-boiler. When the boiler breaks down they will say the part isn't available and it "must" be replaced. The average customer will unfortunately believe this and YES I definitely agree people really do need to know that they can just call a reputable heating/boiler/gas engineer who will usually happily use an aftermarket part to keep an otherwise reliably boiler running. The cover plans are usually a waste of money on older boilers, they are only good for the annual service, which would be cheaper to just buy separately.

Really sorry to hear of your experience. Sounds very much you had a cowboy company and then cowboys trying to sort it out. benefits. It should have been fixed by the original fitters or you should consider taking them to the small claims court. If anyone is in a similar situation with DAMP after cavity wall insulation, consider a roof under-tray and gable-end re-done at the same time as it is a much cheaper solution plus keeps the energy efficiency.

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.
