    Hi everyone,

    I wanted to change the insulation in the attic and I'm not sure what to use between sheep wool or celotex/kingspan. Rockwool is out of discussion because I want something easy/safe to handle.

    Thanks in advance

    Hi sydthebeat, thanks but as I said I want something easier to handle, even if it's more expensive. I was more interested in know if the above solutions are up to the code and which one you would suggest and why.

    Thanks

    Why do you think it's hard to handle?

    Sheep's wool is the most inert, but probably most expensive of the options.

    I don't like the feeling of it. Would sheep wool be compliant with the regulations? The attic is very small so the cost wouldn't be so high.
