Insulation - foil faced or not?

[pilsbury]

Pilsbury,
thinking out of the box, I was wondering if 130mm might be cheaper if 120mm is normal spec.
It wasn't, but I did find this guy in Altrincham selling 130mm for what I calculate to be £28.80 a sheet, no VAT, Plus shipping:

You are indeed right.... a cracking bargain.... if I buy 300sqm for £3k! Known as bulk buying. If I ask for 12 sheets, I think I know his response!

No thank you..... would stop my wifi signal..... seems as though I have a benefit for buying cheap non foil boards!

Would anyone use 100mm non foil between the rafters in a loft conversion?

Yes just take it into account in your u value, the foil is only useful as a handy vcl if you tape it, also if it's facing into a void you'll get a small improvement in u value

I didn't get the non foil stuff, it was 'unproven' if you know what I mean. Didn't have any specs for it.

I just bought my first 3 sheets of 100mm foiled Celotex for £90
