TLX Gold?

[aquat]

We have an old 1860's stone cottage with a loft that was converted into a room about 20 years ago. The insulation is ancient (white styrofoam sheet) and it's freezing up there so we are going to re-roof and insulate. As the rafters are quite small the builders have suggested using a 50mm or 75mm cellotex insulation (100 mm would decrease size of the room too much). Now our builders have changed there mind and want to use TLX Gold with no internal cellotex. Does this sound right? The builder told us that a layer of TLX Gold is the equivilent to 100mm of cellotex. We are spending thousands on this project and want to know there will be a difference after doing it.
Thanks in advance.

You've probably already done it by now but tlx gold really is very good and comes at a price. The cheapest place I know is roofingsuperstore .com or .co.uk I can't remember, but buy from them and you'll save loads than going to tippers, build base etc...

I hope he hasn't done it because that stuff's cr*p; it's not equivalent to 100 cellotex, and it takes up too much space.

Hi did you ever go for the TLX Gold?

We're planning on using it but had specified it alongside a 50mm air gap then 60mm woodfibre batt underneath. Roofer has suggested just the TLX would be enough...

how did you get on?
